Waterboarding? Torture? Some people have low standards in torture.
SEE HEREHere you get a look at "waterboarding" and you tell me if you think the term "torture" applies, as in, thumbscrews, mutilation, whipping, etc. Psychological states associated with waterboarding appear to be fear of drowning and racing physiological signs, high heartbeat, elevated carbon dioxide levels, and panic. Hardly torture in the sense of induced pain. If you want the bad guys to talk you have to put pressure on them someway. A pillow fight may not count.
