Waterboarding is torture. We shouldn't use it (and presently we don't).

My understanding is that the U.S. subjects some of its own men to waterboarding as part of their training. Someone may correct me if I'm wrong. I could understand a rule requiring that we not subject our enemies to interrogation techniques we'd be unwilling to inflict on our own people are part of training, but if our own people are willing to be subjected to such techniques I would consider them fair game.

Sorry, that is just morally naive. There is all the difference in the world between being subjected to such treatment with malice and no prospect of it ending, by a determined enemy, and a mere training exercise conducted by friends you know intend you no harm and will stop whenever.
