Allen - I think the intelligence agencies know a heck of a lot more about how to obtain information than we do. Do you think they enjoy water- boarding terrorists and that's why they went about it? Or do you believe as I do their training and experience taught them this would get the job done? Which BTW looks like it may have worked. Unfortunately, the transparent Obama administration has decided to keep that part of the incident hidden at this stage. I can imagine if you have the time, by using drugs and the right kind of inducement, just about anyone will crack under pressure. I also wonder if bright lights in your eyes will be considered torture in the future? The simple fact is water-boarding is not torture. There is no lasting injury, except fear. A few minutes after being water-boarded, you're perfectly fine. If it were considered torture, the U.S. Military wouldn't do it to train their own special forces personnel. Let me ask you this; do you think the U.S. Military would “torture” their own soldiers for training purposes? Now, if someone started picking off your fingers one at a time, like the mob. Or canning you like the Singapore government, I would re-consider.
