The nice thing about waterboarding is that anyone can do it. Sooner or later western intelligence agents will get caught and waterboarded too. It will be OK, because is not "torture".
Of course, defenders of it will prove to me that it is harmless when I see them put their own children through the treatment. If their kids puke and scream, we can all say "poor babies". But then, it is perfectly Christian to waterboard somebody until they puke and scream.
Übergeek 바둑이: I agree with you on waterboarding. No to waterboarding. Just assasinate them. Drone killing. Much cleaner and you don't have to pay for their lawyer.
But are you willing to say that in ANY and ALL circumstances that waterboarding or ANY enhanced interrogation technique is a no-no?
Übergeek 바둑이: Speaking of kids, do you have any? lets say you do and they are 4 and 5 and have been burried alive in a small container with limited oxygen (4 hours). You have the guy who burried them. They will die of suffocation unless he tells you where he burried them. What would you do? (in this case I wouldn't use a drone nor would I use waterboarding - I'd Jack Bauer him.
