I also said given the chance I may very will TRY it. Hence why I don't think it's torture.
I don't know how what you said makes waterboarding not torture... please define what torture is according to you...

Bear in mind that waterboarding among other things lead to executions of Japanese POW commanders after WW2.

The US itself defines it as torture.
