Yes, and you have identified the reason Ollie North insists waterboarding is not torture.
He would be guilty of a felony if it was.
There are more than a dozen SERE graduates on 100% VA disability as a result of SERE waterboarding.
You're just another foolish armchair pundit parroting the words of people you believe have philosophies similar to yours.
But you know absolutely nothing about the subject you are addressing.
With a little effort you could learn. Do a Google Search and learn about the applied methods and the physiological impacts.
You know, the real life stuff.
Oh, and this Senate report, the one that has not been released...what does it say?
The Senate report does not call it torture. But I guess they don’t know anything more about it than Ollie North.
