Americans knew the practice was torture back when we prosecuted the Japanese for using it after World War II.
  • Water torture.

    There has never really been any doubt as to whether water boarding is torture.

    In any case, the Geneva Convention pretty much lays down an approximation to the Golden Rule. If in doubt treat your prisoners the way you want your own captured soldiers to be treated. Would we want our people to be interrogated on a water board?

    It is totally disgraceful that our nation uses torture when we have a President who calls himself a Christian. Why has he not been called to account by our religious leaders?
