roblem is, arguing about whether water torture is torture is sort of
meaningless, don't you think? I mean, it's called water torture.
Well it was - until the American government started using it.
Then it became waterboarding. I guess some folks are easily confused.
Anybody who lets a name get in the way of truth isn't thinking
clearly.

When I was a kid reading about the Japs using it on US POWs it was
torture.
They put a long strip of cloth in the victims mouth. They would hold
on to one end while the victim swallowed it. Then they would pull it
out, slowly, so slowly. They use the cans the cooking kerosene came in
and didn't bother to rinse them well. They also ****ed into them. When
the victim was full, looking 9 1/2 months pregnant, they would smack
them across the belly with a heavy iron bar and burst the stomach.
They knew how to waterboard in those days. I figure they ought to send
torturers to prison with pedophile paperwork. See how they like being
raped to death.
