Rush described, in some detail, how waterboarding is performed. Other than psychological I don’t see how it can be considered torture.
The real reason the left is in such a fit about it being torture is because they don’t want us finding out from the terrorist what is going on.
Exactly right. And the detainee has the power to stop it at any time. Instantly. All he has to do is *agree* to talk. It’s not what people think. He doesn’t have to spill his guts right then and there.
Water boarding is seldom used and only as a last resort after a long period of cultivating a relationship with an agent. It’s also well supervised.
