Waterboarding.............Why Not?

First, for those who don't know, waterboarding is is a form of torture that consists of immobilizing the victim on his or her back with the head inclined downwards, and then pouring water over the face and into the breathing passages. By forced suffocation and inhalation of water, the subject experiences drowning and is caused to believe they are about to die. It is considered a form of torture by legal experts, politicians, war veterans, intelligence officials, military judges, and human rights organizations. In contrast to submerging the head face-forward in water, waterboarding precipitates a gag reflex almost immediately. The technique does not inevitably cause lasting physical damage. It can cause extreme pain, dry drowning, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation.

There, I have given everyone the cause and effects. But, I ask you this........What is wrong with using a technique where the physical and mental outcome can't even compare to the physical and mental effects terrorists cause on citizens of Earth? I say there is nothing wrong with this technique. Hurting a few bad guys to save the millions of good guys is the right way about it.

When we train our military professionals on the art of survival, do you think we are nice and us a nice classroom setting? NO!!! We teach our military professionals what can happen if they get captured. This includes torture techniques we practice on our own military personal so that they know what to expect. This makes them stronger.

Finally. WE MUST DO WHAT WE CAN TO PROTECT THIS GREAT NATION FROM ANOTHER 9/11/2001!!! If it involves waterboarding........the so be it. By the way, thanks to Wikipedia for the waterboarding thoughts.
