Not commenting on wether torture can be justified or not, just on the procedure of weaterboarding itself: if waterboarding really is so harmless and not torture - I wonder why it is said to have such a high efficiency. anyone here believing that suspects or offenders all of a sudden are in a mood to talk, maybe because they wish to express their thankfulness for getting a wet shave for free? Waterboarding inflicts physical and psychological fear of death, and fear of death is terror in it's purest form. That is what torture is about.

PERIOD.

One really needs to be a blind lying hypocrite to talk it down and say it is harmless. Man, even McCain admitted that it is, and compared it to holding a loaded weapon to your head - i think he knows what he talks about. If it would all be harmless, nobody would tell anything when being exposed to this procedure.
