Adrena, in your other chest-thumping thread, you quoted this:

But waterboarding is itself one of these buzzwords, a euphemism created to sugar coat what the process actually is. "Waterboarding" has become such a common word in the past year that it's a cliche to the point where the meaning of the words themselves is lost. It's not waterboarding, it's forced drowning. Using these same buzzwords that you hate is hypocritical, IMO.
