Where's the board in waterboarding? If you look at YouTube.com, you'll find some teens actually using a board for their victim while draping plastic over their face and then pouring water. But that is not waterboarding. The link below will give you a pretty accurate simulation while not causing permanent harm to the subject. Included is the subject's dilemma on his personal view of waterboarding: Is it coercive interrogation or torture? You decide. Will it be a useful tool in the hand of interrogators if other methods of "acceptable" interrogation have failed? We have all seen war movies. The last thing a POW will do is sell out his country or the people he works for. He will only reveal his name and serial rank. These men are trained to withstand high levels of interrogation techniques.
This video may be upsetting to some so you can click on the article and then decide if you want to see the simulation.
A little humor from Stephen Colbert on Waterboarding:
