The key is in the definition of torture, is it torture to subject prisoners to the same thing we inflict on out on troops in training?

Exactly. As with all debate, the definition of terms is crucial.

I'm with Cruz on this one. I am against torture, but I don't consider water-boarding to be torture.

I tend to agree with Cruz on this one also. When I am trying to decide what constitutes torture I ask myself, Self, would I be ok with it happening to our soldiers?
