Why is this so complicated for you to understand?

A waterboarding "session" would consist of multiple pours lasting an average of 10 seconds, although they were authorized for longer pours. There could be no more than two pours last 40 seconds, and two lasting 20 seconds in a session. The rest lasted no more than ten seconds.

So, when they say AZ was waterboarded "83" times, that means a total of 83 pours over all of his sessions, most under 10 seconds in length. CIA quickly determined that 40 seconds was too long, even though authorized, they decided against using them. Every pour was documented. AZ was waterboarded a total of fewer than ten separate times, with about six to ten pours in a session. This was all carefully documented.

As expected, the liberal media grossly exaggerated the use of waterboarding.
