Damn, we have two documented cases of waterboarding linked in this thread and the CIA only claims three?

Video: Code Pinkos waterboard some poor schlep while Diane Feinstein walks on by

You know, that's interesting. I think many opposed to waterboarding don't know what it is and neither do the advocates. The article that Jack posted suggested that AAG Levin was going to recommend specific guidelines for waterboarding. I don't see any problem with that. The branches of the US military are policy, procedure and guideline crazy and they have a waterboarding program for their own training. In addition, the gentlemen who waterboarded Steve Harrigan in the previously linked video had five specific "stages" of waterboarding that varied in intensity according to his report. Might some stages be defined as torture and others defined otherwise?

I'm curious - to those opposed to waterboarding, would you oppose the practice of waterboarding if it was tightly restricted to the same exact same technique as the US military utilizes for training its own personnel?

I know you won't understand....but it still needs to be said.

What a load of bull****. Our massive and repetitive bombing of civilians from the air during WWII were adopted tactics originally used by the "evil regimes we were fighting against". By your logic, we became no better than the Nazis or Imperial Japanese. The inconvenient truth, however, is that we never lost what we were fighting for, now did we?

Please see the thread I'm about to start on "Waterboarding and Hiroshima". Bret Stephens pretty much decimates your pacifistic holier-than thou pretensions.

C'mon Demms, isn't waterboarding just like the **** swirlies you got when you were younger?
