Water Board

Human beings are amazing creatures aren't they? Who else could come up with waterboarding - currently the subject of a US Senate investigation. Waterboarding is used as a form of interrogation where the subject is "drowned" without causing death. This is achieved in a variety of ways. The question before the US Senate is whether this form of interrogation constitutes torture. Now, why on earth would anybody think that ... just because it involves the subject's head being submerged under water or their mouth being forced open and water being poured down their throat.
