I'm sorry. I do not believe anyone who says they're not sure if waterboarding is torture. Well, maybe if the little old lady who lives across the street from me said it…though come to think of it, she watches the news. She knows. The political candidates and nominees and such in our government all certainly know and when they hedge and balk and decline to offer an opinion, they're lying just as certainly as anyone ever lies about anything. It's torture and they know it and they just don't want to say it.
Malcolm Nance knows it's torture. How does he know? Because he has "led, witnessed and supervised waterboarding of hundreds of people." If you even suspect he might be wrong or that the point is arguable, spend a few minutes Googling and searching the 'net. See if you can find a single article from someone that says, "Oh, I've supervised waterboarding hundreds of times. It's not at all unpleasant and in the right company, it can even be rather enjoyable. On our anniversary each year, my wife and I take turns waterboarding each other."
Thanks to Dan Gheno for pointing me towards that article. Hey, Dan! Next time you're in town, let's get some of our friends together and have a big waterboarding party! We'll see who can dispense the most phony information in order to make it stop.
