Waterboarding, by the numbers.Follow
Just as Planned.
You know I enjoy? Lemonade. It really hits the spot.
Waterboarding could've been a fun form of surfing. Thanks a lot, CIA...

One of the first things I was taught, walking into a business as a new manager, was that even if something's been tried before and it failed, that doesn't mean it wasn't a good idea, as the people there before you may have just failed at doing it right.
Donate. One day it could be your family.

Timelordwho is right, instead of waterboarding we should be beating these people to within an inch of their lives.

Yep, at that point they'll tell you anything. Anything at all.

Well of course, people who are ready to commit martyrdom for their cause will surely betray their brothers if you threaten to cut their balls off.
I'm surprised the CIA hasn't contacted you yet.

I'd say that's sexist, but everyone knows that there are no woman terrorists.

Set them in a pen with hungry pigs.
Best case scenario, they talk and get eaten.
Worst case scenario, they get eaten.

This would be an excellent way to deal with Israeli terrorists.

Fortunately, there'll be plenty of room for them after all the muzzies get et.

Sounds like a semantic defense there.
I both pointed out that it is not as widespread as most people believe, being used only on 3 people, all of them essentially terrorist upper management. These three had also previously confessed prior to torture/water boarding, in most cases stridently so. However, water boarding also did not generate any useful data. The CIA recognized this and has discontinued it.
So, there is a false dilemma here.
