Waterboarding has been recognized as a torture technique since the time of Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition. U.S. soldiers who were caught using it on enemy insurgents in the Philippines, in 1901, or the Vietnam War, in 1968, were prosecuted. When suffocation by water was used by foreign governments, such as the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, the State Department didn't hesitate to call it torture.
By the way am I the only one wondering why people who want to be martyrs allow themselves to be captured alive?

"Hail to the Chief" was written for James Madison because he was so short that no one ever noticed when he entered the room.
