Why do pols continue to accept the categorization of waterboarding as “torture”???
Get over it!
We do it to our own troops as a standard part of training.
There is no lasting physical damage.
The same liberal wimps making these claims have outlawed the withholding of M&M’s!!
Really!!
You can NOT offer or withhold any favor in exchange for information!!!!

WASHINGTON — With Congress’ approval of a new attorney general who refused to describe waterboarding as torture, the Army has sent out a message to its leaders repeating that the interrogation technique is prohibited in the military.
The service issued the Nov. 6 message “to eliminate any confusion that may have arisen as a result of recent public discourse on the subject.”
The U.S. military formally banned waterboarding as an interrogation technique in September 2006.
Forget waterboarding, Obama says feeding detainees Ensure drinks was torture.
