I'm starting to notice an trend in putting things that really don't qualify as them, in the same category. It's like political correctness, and zero tolerance policy (why in the world would you suspend an child for making an paper gun?). On that very simple methods (like water boarding) while may seem weird/hard to us, is that we over simplify everything and don't make the difference between the actual "things". Who here has gotten tired of the way children (ages 4ish to 12ish) are treated like "adults"?

Water boarding in sessions of minutes (like 12) does no damage to the body, but it sure can be shocking. Mental aspect, is more like fear in that you know it's coming and want to avoid it. We even train our own soldiers against it, so I believe there's no mental affect (other then fear) or physical harm. The question is though how much, and how long? I would say it's more of an physiological tool anyway.

If the presence arises where I may have an chance to experience it, I would really consider trying it to get an first hand experience on the matter ( If I go that far I can't consider it torture, who would do torture to there own bodies?).
