Well I believe water boarding is Psychological torture if not physical as the person really feels like they are about to drown.

I think it should definatly be done to US soldiers, since if captured Water Boarding is definatly a method enemies may use to extract information. Just because the US trains its troops to defend against water boarding does not make it okay to water board others.

Whether or not the terrorists water board or do far worse things to American's doesn't mean its okay for the US to do those things to terrorists. Why should the US Government act like terrorists? The US has morals built in to it and to torture suspects makes the US no better then the terrorists they are fighting.

The US Army should always treat POW's with respect and dignity. The US is supposed to be the better person and not resort to inhumaine practises. Whether or not water boarding actually helped catch Osama is irrelevant. The US should never torture POW's!

I have to agree with this post. The US is better then tortue and waterboarding.
