The question assumes that you have Christian values. A US Army Field Manual revised last month bans "water boarding" as "cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment". Senior Republican lawmakers, human rights groups and many experts agree. Republican Senator, John Warner, John McCain and Lindsey Graham agree. Vice president Dick Cheney said in a interview that "the Bush administration doesn't regard water boarding as torture and allows the CIA to use it. It's a no brainer for me", Cheney said. It is the Bush administrations view that the president has the constitutional power to do whatever he deems necessary to fight terrorism." Cheney went on to say. Water boarding means holding a persons head under water or pouring water on a cloth or cellophane placed over the nose and mouth to simulate drowning until the subject agrees to talk or confess. Bush signed legislation last month that prohibits water boarding according to sponsors of the Military Commissions Act.
Also if your Son or your Daughter were to fall into the Iraqi resistance hands would you agree with the use of water boarding to get your child to make a confession?
