So was I. Lasted 2 minutes.
I wonder exactly what unit of measurement he's using to establish that waterboarding somehow breaches a line that separates torture from interrogation.
I, personally, am not stupid enough to distinguish the two. Waterboarding certainly is torture, but then again so is shining a light in someone's face for a prolonged amount of time, asking repetitious questions in a closed space, messing with the room temperature, having detainees drink a lot of water to put them on the edge of confession, etc.
They're all forms of torture since they involve directly and purposefully coercing people who are being interrogated. They're all just different ranges of torture.
Articles that describe subjective situations like this only serve to ake the issue more ambiguous.
