re: #336 Bob Levin

I agree. Even if we can go so far as eliminating the inclination to waterboard, the rules of warfare sometimes require that one side gets information that is accurate, and that they get it very quickly.

Except, that torture is ineffective and counterproductive as it encourages the other side to engage in it too.
