It's a very humane method used to extract information without causing undue(implies guilt without proof, but who needs proof anymore) pain or any form or permanent injury (yeah its not like simulating death by drowing isn’t going to mess you up for life, I know I do it all the time). It's merely "unpleasant" (yeah usually torture is).
Compared to the punishments commonly legal in Islamic countries, the US must look like a Saint in comparison (yeah except for that whole we invade other countries for doing things like this but are not above doing it ourselves). Infact not only did the prisoner have BOTH hands and feet, he also appears to have all 10 fingers and toes (ohh yeha he does, unlike thousand of Native Americans we mutilated and killed over land that we invaded, but we wont go there). I see no electrical cables hooked up to his testicles, nor is he beaten bloody. I see no executoiner readying a sword to cut off his head, nor a torturer wiedling a whip (he is off camera, not sure if you know this but it has also come to light that they were beaten and smacked), not an angry crowd of 9/11 victim survivors hurling stones at him.
(And lets not even get me stared on the Salem witch trials, the lynching that happened during the racial years, the Japanese camps during the wars….the list goes on, but you keep thinking your better then the rest of the world b/c you have a get out of jail free social security card…)
