A soldier waterboarded his four-year-old daughter because she was unable to recite her alphabet.
Joshua Tabor admitted to police he had used the CIA torture technique because he was so angry.
As his daughter 'squirmed' to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline.
Tabor, 27, who had won custody of his daughter only four weeks earlier, admitted choosing the punishment because the girl was terrified of water.

He did not waterboard her. He is an idiot abuser who dunked his daughter's head under water because he knew she feared water.
Waterboarding is a whole nother technique.
Whoever came up with that term to apply to this case - in this article - is trying to manipulate their reader into thinking a certain way. Not working for me.
The poor little girl was probably abused often.
Agreed. What the article described...
...sounded like him holding her face in water, not waterboarding. Still horrible either way, but it is suspicious that they would use the term 'waterboarding' here.
and there you have it...
if this is true its just another example of trained sheeple being programmed to accept anything as "normal"
it will be interesting to see how "they" play this out
not torture? torture?
poor little girl...sadistic father
what's next, honor killings in the U.S.?

He was on SSRIs - anybody care to make a bet?
Whenever I hear these stories that sound inhuman, I follow. It takes months sometimes, often requiring a case to come to court before the details emerge... but I am always right.
This man came home broken, he got custody by being a good solider and taking the pills his doctor told him to. Mark my words...
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
This sounds kind of hard to
This sounds kind of hard to believe. I can't believe anyone would water board a four year old!
Awful
Somehow I don't think gov't officials will convince this child that waterboarding isn't really torture.
Just terrible.
That's one soldier who should have a dose of his own medicine.

Terrible.
But it ought to be interesting, since they have decided that waterboarding isn't torture.
He probably will be convicted as a child abuser..
But in the ruling, they will clarify:"Waterboarding is not torture for adult males, but is torture and abuse for a four year old." If he is not convicted, there will be a great outcry from the people.
