One small point of order. Thats not waterboarding. The press over-hyped. Waterboarding would be where her face whent under wanter.
Anyways.
WTF Discuss.
Wikipedia says waterboarding is
a torture technique that consists of immobilizing the subject on his back with the head inclined downwards; water is then poured over the face into breathing passages, causing the captive to believe he or she is dying.[1][2] In contrast to submerging the head face-forward in water, waterboarding precipitates an almost immediate gag reflex
So the press are stupid/wrong, but what he still did is torture. A face held underwater can still kill. 3 year olds die of drowning in wading pools because of 3" of water- they'll find themselves face down and have no idea how to save themselves. What he did, I think, is torture, but is NOT Waterboarding, which is worse than what he did.
