1-Waterboarding is NOT "torture"!

- There is no physical damage.

-Waterboarding was a standard part of U.S. officer training to learn to resist interrogation

2-Waterboarding was approved by DoD legal offices AND both parties in Congress

3-It was only used on 3 of the most senior & key terrorists.

4-It worked and saved lives.

5-Haspel was NOT in the chain of command that implemented these instances.

6-Haspel did NOT "run the interrogation sites"!

Is waterboarding torture when you do it 183 times? Is it useful when the subject can figure out how many seconds it will happen and no longer fears it?
