My dad was waterboarded during his military training. He said without a doubt that it is torture. He went on to add that if it saved American lives, it was definitely worth it.


This is an opinion I can respect. He won’t lie about what it is, but he’s not one of those so blinded by ideology that he would risk American lives for the sake of an imaginary moral high ground.

On the other hand, people running interference, trying to obfuscate the debate by saying it’s NOT torture, are just a bunch of delusional fools.

The number of people on this site that for some reason don’t seem to understand what waterboarding is, comparing it to getting water in your nose while swimming or some other similarly ludicrous comparison just serve as further evidence for the fringe status that people assign to this website.
