    The best response I've read to this, by a former interrogator, was that waterboarding is actual drowning, simulated death.

    They used to perform this technique in training at SERE High-Risk C, a course designed to teach certain military assets at high risk of capture how to resist and endure torture (not how to conduct torture).

    When I went through the course, they had suspended it under a safety review, so I didn't have the pleasure.
