Water boarding is not torture?

OK, it was a war crime during the second world war. It was considered torture, byt the U.S. at the tokyo trials. About a dozen journalists tried it and they came out gasping that yes indeed it is torture. The Nazis and the Kmer Rouge considered it torture. American Marines died under it in Japanese hands when it went wrong and it was murder and torture then… But ok, stick to the crazy, foolish, utterly wrong meme that somehow it is just a walk in the park.

It was one of the things that made Andersonville such a horror as well.

To say it is not torture is simply an ignorant and painful lie. Every military in the world knows this is torture.

Next, you will be telling me that a triangle has four sides.
