Simulated Drowning

Posted by kplumley on 01-08-2008 in Waterboarding - Torture?

When it comes right down to it all waterboarding does is simulate drowning. i think this alone merits the title of torture, and I think that everybody should be able to agree on that. It disgusts that there are still people out there that feel that waterboarding is not in fact torture at all, and those people I feel are crazy. The only justifcation that can be given is the need to gain information from suspects and that this is a good way to gain that information, however I feel that the ends don't justify the means, hence not only is waterboarding torture but it along with all other methods of torture are unjustifyed regardless of the rationale behind them.
