The "Intelligence"community would lead us all to believe that waterboarding is actually a form of swimming lessons. You can now get you Red Cross Waterboarding badge. In addition to the waterboarding badge, you can also get the insurgent pyramid badge, the mullah humiliation badge, and the civilian removal badge. The rookie cop deterrent medal with oak leaf clusters is being considered. One of the most utile phrases in the English language is,"Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining." It is the title of Judge Judy's auto biography. George W. Bush 's will be entitled,"Even I don't believe a single word I say."

It is torture. Duress, extortion and impeding a person from in-taking life necessities is torture such as denying or impeding access to food water and air, threat and /or application to inflict physical discomfort for the purpose of possessing an others property in the form information, product, will and land property. Contracts formed under such inter-personally imposed conditions are null and void.

so called "waterboarding", while an effective interrogation tactic is definitely not "torture".
A recent approach to interrogations has been to use techniques such as waterboarding, sexual humiliation and sexual abuse, and dogs to intimidate or pressure prisoners in a manner held to be legal under national or international law.
The Geneva Accords does not enter into this because they only apply to members of a COUNTRY which has signed the accords and who are members of that country's military.

As a conservative, I do believe it IS torture, so thanks for not generalizing the ENTIRE right wing.

You can't argue with a sick mind. You'll never convince them that that duck is, in fact, a duck.
