[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 660077, member: 8259"] Neither am I. From dictionary.com. "the act of inflicting excruciating pain, as punishment or revenge, as a means of getting a confession or information, or for sheer cruelty." OK if water boarding were torture and caused severe pain or severe suffering how could someone be laughing at the end? No need to answer as they would not be. It does cause panic and tends to make one desperate. Discomfort, causing a gag reflex, or fooling someone into thinking they are drowning are all a far cry from severe pain and suffering. If I woke up at a heavy d concert I would feel panic and desperation to get out, and it would trigger my gag reflex, but that would not be torture. Nice of you to bring up John McCain and since I disagree with him on many other things and this also holds no weight with me. If were were President when we went to war I would not have authorized the use of water boarding not because it is torture like many people on the left falsely claim and as you yourself proved it wasn't by posting the treaty definition but because as a Country we hold ourselves to a higher standard.
