I don't get it. Waterboarding seems to really be effective, and yet the liberals call it torchure. Yet, you can tazer someone.
What is the difference???

Smedrik,
I want to know what studies prove torchure does not produce good information. The Iranians got a sh*load out of William Buckley, the CIA agent they torchured to death.

Tazering is to subdue, someone that poses some sort of threat or being un-cooperative. Waterboarding is used to extract information. But the world we live in Waterboarding is necessary for information to save lives.

Tazers subdue, and cause no long term effects. Tazering is not considered torture because it is used as a non lethal alternative to subdue a person who is creating a dangerous situation.
Waterboarding is considered torture. It causes long term emotional distress. Torture has been shown not to be a reliable means of extracting information.

Tazer is legal while waterboarding is illegal because it is torture to get information from suspected terrorists.
