You have to sign waivers for a lot of things that are not torture to avoid liability. That’s not an issue for terrorists — until the ACLU gets involved in lawsuits to protect the scum.

I agree that water boarding is the harshest of the enhanced interrogation techniques used, but no one died from it. Much different than chopping off body parts, burning, electrical shocks, etc.

I assume the hardened AQ operatives laugh about us arguing about water boarding. It was only used against 3 Gitmo detainees, and it got results that saved lives.

In principle I am against “torture”. I just think this technique is on the very low end of that term.

why?…what do you suggest is the alternative?
