If the intent is to train someone to resist torture, and that person willingly accepts that training, it's obviously not torture.

This is totally beside the point, which is that waterboarding to obtain information is not waterboarding to cause permanent damage. In order for it to be torture, the objective can't be merely to get information.

It isn't torture. But even it was, it was totally acceptable in the circumstances.
