More Bush Double Talk on Waterboarding

I don't see how this is torture, it doesn't cause pain or physical damage. They will recover. Also it does not apply to the 8th amendment, it is not punishment for a crime. I think something as tame as waterboarding should be widely used to extract vital information from suspected terrorists.

We can't waterboard, but they can lock school kids in a burning building because their faces arent covered, they can shoot them in the back, they can stone women to death for being seen in public with an unrelated male, burn people alive, ect.

But we cant dunk their fucking heads in water to possibly save thousands of lives, what the fuck.
