Waterboarding IS Torture -- Amnesty International

looks like you have no idea what you are even talking about

We must admit that although the American civilization lacks historical experience in comparison with older ones; when it comes to torturing, the U.S. agencies easily compete with the Spanish inquisition of the Dark Ages...Way to go for your creative thoughts...!

haha...you're american...right?

Also torture is what gives Al Qaeda new recruits.
Al Qaeda thanks the Bush government for promoting their cause......

Torture doesnt work.
Fanatics are MUCH more likely to lie(worse than say nothing) or stay silent till they die than tell the truth under torture.
While innocent people may be forced to lie about being terrorists and that disorients the "anti-terrorists"even more

No physical or mental long-term damage?
Say that to doctors who have examined the long-term effects of waterboarding-and check wikipedia once and a while

so your saying the government is just going to torture people just because they feel like it? Come on, they only water boarded 3 people they knew had valuable information.

That waterboarding video does not depict the ACTUAL way waterboarding is done. In SERE (survive, evade, resist, and escape) school the US military waterboards their own people. The people who waterboard indeviduals have also BEEN waterboarded. We don't do anything to them we won't do to ourselves. Bleeding heart librals... hug the enemy, I know you want to.
