excellent point.
They know we won't like it. I think it's torture, and a great deal of people do. They consciously know we wouldn't like it. That's why they think it's best to cover it up.

I think a better question is if it isn't torture, then why is there such a debate over if it was used or not? If it isn't torture, then there shouldn't be such a big hubbub about it. And what is the significance of its use if it isn't torture? I mean, if it is in fact just water dripping on someone, how is it a means to extract information?
So many questions, but no answers. I think there is a bunch of BS on the part of those supporting "water boarding".

firstly it is torture, in world war 2 people were charged with war crimes for water boarding POWs.
they are keeping it a secret because it is torture and it violates human rights.

For one, theres no proof its even happening, its just not classified as torture. I have gone through it and I can tell you, I'd chose that over what happened to Nick Berg.

Interrogation techniques are presumably less effective is the subject has an idea of what to expect.
