Thanks, I already said waterboarding is a form of torture. I still say it should be used in the very select cases they were using it in. It is an interrogation technique that has garnered very good intelligence that could not have been gotten other ways.

You are wrong. Waterboarding is not torture.

We disagree on whether or not waterboarding is torture. To my mind, it falls just to the non-torture side of the line. As such, I want to see it used, if it is to be used, very carefully and selectively, with ample safeguards in place. I would prefer it to not be used at all.

Things that fall on the other side of the line, I would like to see generally prohibited.
