"That was not a politically neurtral site," So submit a corrective EDIT if you find any of the FACTS (as presented) are incorrect. "but most of those techniques required that the subject be partially drowned. The one described in the memo is only for 20 seconds." (Repeated how many times? :-) I still find it somewhat amazing that we successfully prosecuted Japanese and German troops of war crimes for this same technique after WW II... (and that it dates at least as far back as the Spanish Inquisition in history....) From the "Spanish water torture" (Spanish Inquisition), to "Chinese water torture", to "hydropathic torture" (at Sing Sing), to court martial offenses in the Spanish American War, to waterboarding torture by Japanese troops (especially the Kempeitai), and by the Gestapo --- successfully prosecuted as War Crimes later by the Allies, to the French/Algerian War... the Vietnamese War... the Pinochet regime of Chile... The Khmer Rouge at Tuol Sleng prison in Phnom Penh, Cambodia... waterboarding torture has a long and varied history....
