Could you endure 15 seconds of waterboarding even if you knew it was a setup and could cancel it at will?
Unfortunately the video is not embeddable, but please consider this short link on waterboarding where Playboy.com journalist Mike Guy underwent waterboarding by a trained member of the U.S. military http://videoplayer.playboy.com/services ... 0047560001 in the site's new Lab Rat feature.
Personally I believe that it torture. So does Senator John McCain.
Regardless of whether you think it is torture, the fact is, waterboarding is counterproductive.
For more details, please consider the following articles
• Torture Never Works; Ron Paul on Torture and Secret Prisons; "Torture is What the Nazis Did" http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot. ... rture.html
• McCain on Torture and Waterboarding; Ron Paul on Bin Laden and Torture: Bin Laden Is Dead – Let’s Come Home! http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot. ... g-ron.html
My position is simple: "Thinking that torture is wrong is not a liberal or conservative value - it is simply a value."
Waterboarding is torture.

I have no problem with this procedure in limited situations when enemy combatants are involved. Sorry, I choose to value American lives over the life of someone trained and directed to kill Americans!
