How is being put under water for 20-40 seconds harsher than Navy Seal training or doind drills in the pouring rain?
Secondly, you have not answered as to how you will get information from these guys to save lives if you can't cause them any discomfort?
No responses so far, just liberal opinion about torture.
How is waterboarding harsher than SEAL training?
Torture? I went through worse in basic training I looked at these memos and these things are not torture. I went through worse during basic training in the Army. I remember doing drills in pouring rain for about 15-20 minutes. We were running in place and doing push ups. We also went on a field exercise in a storm and had to sleep on the side of the road in wet leaves and grass, It was so wet me and my battle buddy had to sleep back to back to avoid the wet ground....
.... Another important part of basic conditioning is drown-proofing. In this evolution, trainees must learn to swim with both their hands and their feet bound. To pass drown-proofing, trainees enter a 9-foot-deep pool and complete the following steps with their hands and feet tied: bob for 5 minutes float for 5 minutes swim 100 meters bob for 2 minutes do some forward and backward flips swim to the bottom of the pool and retrieve an object with their teeth return to the surface and bob five more times Another evolution is surf torture, also called "cold water conditioning." science.howstuffworks.com...
To call the things in this memo torture is a danger to our country. This is not torture in any way, shape or form. If liberals don't want waterboarding, loud music, bugs in room or any discomfort for terrorist that have information about future plans that could save lives, how will they get any information? Say pretty please, can you give us some info? This is silly and dangerous.

I'm so tired of all of this whining about torture. You want to know what torture is like? Talk to a WW2 vet. My grandfather hated the Japanese until the day he died. He just couldn't get it out of his head....
If the life of one of your loved ones depended upon getting information through "so called" torture or good ol' fashioned torture you would have no problem with it.
If you did, you are a coward and should go hide in a corner and suck your thumb. Drop and give me 50 you spineless whimps!
Let real men and women make the important decisions for you.

Stop your crying and whining and get a spine about torture.

you are forgetting that while you volunteer for the basic training torture, the human beings that our government tortured were not.
Funny, after I went through one of the hardest basic training procedures in the the world I learnt to THANK F*** for those human rights "liberals".
I guess it takes a certain type of person to justify torture....
Does anybody have any information regarding the innocents in Guantanamo? I would be very interested to see the ratio of innocent to guilty.
Comparing actual torture that happenned in WW2 to what has been done to the Arab terrorists is an absolute joke.
If you wish to also be a spell check nazi, go become a public school teacher like other liberals.
you're willing to make people pay - innocents be damned
