As you speak to the wonders of waterboarding, I wonder whether you have ever reflected on the consequences of your words and actions for others. If waterboarding isn't torture (or even cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment) when you decide to use on it others, then why should other nations not resort to its use, even against Americans who may be detained overseas, at some point in the future.

Anyone agreeable to waterboarding, please digest this:

"..then why should other nations not resort to its use, even against Americans..."

And that goes for any torture, or harsh "interrogation" techniques, not just waterboarding.
