Do you think water boarding is torture according to the United Nations Convention Against Torture definiton?

en.wikipedia.org

“any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a male or female person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in, or incidental to, lawful sanctions.

Waterboarding as used during Bush's Admin was not classified as torture according to our justice system.

Where are you reading that the justice system did not view waterboarding as torture? I'd like to see the article.
