Well if we aren’t disagreeing, then just agree with me that waterboarding is an acceptable method (when used the way they were using it, on the select few they were using it on) of gathering useful intel from terrorists, and then I’ll say we are good.
I will say that since I do not consider it torture, I consider it to be a valid and acceptable method of interrogation, however due to other factors beyond the fact that it is not torture, I would like to see the use of it restricted as much as possible. Since the current policy seems to be to restrict the use of waterboarding altogether, but the insistence that it is not torture preserves the possibility of future use, if necessary, I am satisfied with the status quo.
Is that good enough, or are we gonna have to fight all night?
