Like all things, we need a balance on this issue. Terrorists shouldn't get any kind of sympathy, but things like waterboarding are too much.

The problem is, it is used on suspected terrorists. They should be treated no different to suspected criminals (US citizens); meaning they have rights. In the UK you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Physical torture isn't acceptable to use on innocent people. I would consider putting people into almost freezing water for prolonged periods, physical torture.

Waterboarding was used on precisely 3 people.

All of them were well-known and major terrorist figures, this "according to current and former US intelligence officials" as has been repeated in numerous articles for quite a while now.
