Some people seem to think I’m arguing that it shouldn’t have been used against KSM and the other terrorists who were waterboarded.

I’m not. I think it was justified in those cases.

But I’m saying we need to stop denying that this IS torture. Our own government called it torture when it was practiced on captured US soldiers. It’s torture. We should be clear about that and stop saying it’s just a harmless little thing and only crybabies would complain about it.
