Based on what, exactly? A very strict set of rules that governed the use of the technique: - Waterboarding interrogation sessions were permitted on no more than five days within any 30-day period. - No more than two sessions were permitted in any 24-hour period. - A session could last no longer than two hours. - There could be at most six pours of water lasting ten seconds or longer — and never longer than 40 seconds — during any individual session. It is easy to do the arithmetic, but the bottom line is that 40 seconds was considered the extreme of application of the technique and if they did it, they had only six shots to do it in a session (of which there were five). So your claim of them lasting "minute" are obviously incorrect, and the amount of time obviously couldn't have totaled 3 hours. Unless, of course, you're now wanting to accuse the CIA, which meticulously documented the details of these interrogations, of lying.
