#2 My only problem with the waterboarding is that they tilt them back up.

#3 Torture is the use of pain with the proffer of pain avoidance, as a means to either acquire information or confessions.

Water boarding uses discomfort - admittedly extreme - and creates an artificial sensation of near-death to induce feelings of helplessness. The object - and objectification of terrorists is legitimate - expects a slow death, and does what he has to do to remain alive.

Frankly I would prefer immediate pain to slow death. I agree that military professionals should not use Waterboarding; however, I would allow selective use of same by intelligence services, as long as the target is a known terrorist.

For the record, reports suggest that no mere terror suspect has been waterboarded. Yet that is what is portrayed in Hollywood's deceitful film, "Rendition."
