| Tyrannical said: It's a very humane method used to extract information without causing undue pain or any form or permanent injury. It's merely "unpleasant". Compared to the punishments commonly legal in Islamic countries, the US must look like a Saint in comparison. Infact not only did the prisoner have BOTH hands and feet, he also appears to have all 10 fingers and toes. 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, not an angry crowd of 9/11 victim survivors hurling stones at him.

No it's not humane, it's torture,... would you like it repeatedly done to you to extract information, no.
Also I think people seem to be under the impression that those (like me) who oppose the torture seem to symapthyse with other tortures around the world. A few people have said this and I have no idea where they have got it from. I don't just disagree with waterboarding, I disagree with all torture whether it be flogging or whatever. There is no justification for torutre whether it be interrogation, punishment or otherwise.
