I understand that waterboarding is effective in getting info because it re creates the feeling of drowning/dying. Why is that not torture?

Because its NOT drowning/dying. Torture would be actual drowning, then saving them. Waterboarding does not have the same pain as actual drowning but very close. That is why it is so close to the line, you can argue which side of the line its on, but it is obviously very close to that line.
