Several GOP presidential candidates have said they would support bringing back waterboarding, a practice the U.S. prosecuted as a war crime after WWII. Apparently it’s only torture when the other side does it.

Any person that thinks waterboarding is a war crime is not worth listening to.

This was well wrangled over in the oughties. The GTMO version of this is more psychological than physical, involving a cloth which blocks any of the water from getting into the “torturee’s” mouth or nose. IIRC in WWII the Axis did not bother with the cloth, it was literally an open air drowning.
