If its good enough for the Spanish Inquisition and the Soviet Union, it should be good enough for us. Except water boarding and the water torture used by the Sovs are two completely different things as anyone who bothers to learn a single fact rather then mindlessly cling to knee jerk emotion based Neo isolationists dogmas knows full well

They are the same thing.
Since you're disputing the writer's assertion that waterboarding is torture and he is a military man who has experienced it, can you tell which branch of the military or intel services you served in and how many times you have experienced waterboarding?
Merely reading and parroting the pro-torture ninnies (none of them military men) about the benevolent practice of waterboarding while munching Doritos in front of a computer running Windows Millennium in your mom's basement doesn't count.
Me, I listen to people like this guy who has experienced it and to people like McCain and others in the military who oppose its use. Our military has very little use for this notion of torture and they consider it detrimental to our own armed forces and a danger to our own troops from the fear that we are legitimizing its use.
