You are asking if there are lasting psychological repercussions from waterboarding torture?

This is part of the agreement Americans who have been subjected to waterboarding sign:

“ ‘Waterboarding’ is a potentially dangerous activity in which the participant can receive serious and permanent (physical, emotional and psychological) injuries and even death, including injuries and death due to the respiratory and neurological systems of the body.”

An even more important point to consider is that torture is rarely an effective way to get information from a prisoner. Generally they tell nothing, or say whatever it takes to get the torture to stop.

In general, torture is not an interrogation device, but a terrorism device. "Look what we will do to your citizens if we capture them".

You know what the best way to get information from German Nazis in WWII was? Chess. Interrogators would play chess with captured prisoners, develop a relationship, and eventually they would start talking.

The idea that torture leads to reliable information is a delusion.
