Water boarding is not torture. The simplest proof is the number of lamestream media reporters who signed up to try it so they could report how terrible it was.
I don’t recall any lamestream media reporter ever signing up to try electroshock or the rack or having their fingernails pulled out.
That is true and that is why I referred to it as enhanced interrogation. I should have been more clear.
Torture is not effective. . .again, unless done in a way to ensure you receive accurate intelligence. . .won’t go into how that is done, but it does work.
Torture just to torture doesn’t work in getting anything actionable—and that is what McLame is thinking/feeling when he talks about the subject and recalls the NV experience.
Same can be said of various interrogation techniques. . .SERE is an excellent training environment to learn such things.
