I can tell you that the protocol used by the CIA which is referred to as "waterboarding" is not the same procedure used by the Japanese and others who have been tried for "waterboarding" as a crime....

Not only that, the Japanese who were tried were tried for a plethora of different infractions of which waterboarding was a small part.

Who is to say there would have been any conviction at all for mere waterboarding? And as you said, the "water cure" they were tried for was a different procedure.

What was the difference? How did it matter to the victim... Why, because the procedure was documented and designed in precise detail by a team of doctors, lawyers, and torturers in Mengele style..? And then after 183 "boardings", he tells his torturers what they want to hear.....duh!! You would tell them what they wanted to hear just by looking at the board...
