My opinion on water boarding has not changed

If it was done on US troops by our enemy would we consider it

1. Enhanced interrogation and therefore it is not a problem
2. Torture and we would raise holy stink

I believe that most people would opt for answer 2. I know I would.

Given that, if we would believe it would be torture if done to our troops, why would it be justified if done on their troops?
