Good article Win. Interesting. What a strange contradiction. The author believes water boarding is torture and we should now step up our efforts and do it more often to our soldiers to prepare them for battle. The assumptions seems to be that only he and is school are capable of humanely caring out the torture. A bit arrogant I would say. I don't know who at the CIA performed the water boarding, but my assumption is they are also well trained to carry it out humanely. He trusts soldiers and doesn't seem to trust the intelligence agencies. The article also points that by publicizing the event on such a grand scale, as the left and team Obama have done, we've put our troops at a much greater risk. I agree. One of the other ugly bi-products of why playing politics with the way prisoners are treated has consequences. I can only imagine how difficult it would be today to fight WW2.
