Yes, the good old days of no political correctness...

The U.S. has gone from one end of the spectrum to the other, both extremes, without making a quick stop in the middle where it should be. Nowadays we don't have a democracy anymore as the majority is too busy trying not to offend the minority.

Waterboarding = lay on an inclined board, towel on your face, water poured down on the towel. No water goes through it (at least not considerably) but
it makes you gag...even when you are not dying or suffering physical damage.

I think that is very different than pouring water straight into your nostrils and mouth. That would be the equivalent of drowning you alive. That is
a physical torture.

Check the case documentation, that is exactly what was done and the guy got sentenced for. Towel and all.
