Not hypocritcal at all. Here, again, is this foolish assumption that we are simply waterboarding everyone and asking "what do you know?".

The waterboarding McCain experienced was an arbitrary application of the method, designed simply to break a man's spirit for the sake of doing so.

The waterboarding the detainees experience is used on specific individuals to gain specific information.
