While it will not kill or produce permanent harm, it apparently makes a person feel like they are drowning. But, according to Ross, it also makes the subjects talk and give good information. There is no doubt, to me, that the techniques that the White House now wants approved, which do NOT include waterboarding, are not torture. Waterboarding appears to be very close to the line, however. It produces no permanent physical damage, but it sure inflicts severe psychological distress. While I am not fully comfortable with it, I would certainly have to - however reluctantly - agree that in a ticking time bomb situation, I would be a lot less squeamish about it.

I wouldn't subject my worst enemy to some of those methods of torture. "...and a 450 pound conspiracy theorist who loves to talk and has not bathed in six months." So, they'll torture the terrorists by making them sit next to Michael Moore on a plane? I'd say that definitely falls under cruel and unusual punishment. For the "Telehorror" punishment, maybe some other programs and films could be used as well, such as 'Mind of Mencia' (Why is that no- talent freak still on the air?), MAD TV (I can't remember the last time that show brought so much as a smile to my face), any reality shows seen on MTV, or movies such as "Gigli," "Superstar," and "Bubble Boy." Play any of those shows or films on a continuous loop to a terrorist, and you'll probably get a confession pretty quickly. ROFLMAO!

I was drafted into the US Army in 1969. Virtually all of those techniques and worse were employed by drill sergeants during Army basic training. Further, I would equate "water-boarding" with gas-mask training, the way the US Army did it. So, in the American Army, we consider those things "training" but in the US Senate, we call that "torture." I think some of our elected representatives need to grow up.

Now that the Guardian has leaked the actual techniques the administration wants to use, McCain is in serious trouble. While he could preen and posture about how principled he was until now, the list of techniques shows him for what he is. A preening hack willing to put Americans at risk to try to gain votes.
