Please dont get me wrong and think i am taking a pro conservative view on this as in america, but when i think "torture" i think of nails pulled out with pliers, electrocution car battery style, whipping flogging, brutal beatings, limbs removed, beheadings etc.etc...
to me waterboarding doesnt fit in to this category, but it would be interesting to hear others views.

It may not be "physical torture" like pulling out nails, but it is "psychological torture" which is as if not more damaging in the long term.
