In that sense it is better to talk about it, so that it will never happen again.

Does Bush cover this about waterboarding in his book?

Waterboarding is a form of torture that consists of immobilizing the subject on his/her back with the head inclined downwards. Water is then poured over the face into breathing passages, thus triggering the mammalian diving reflex causing the captive to experience the sensations of drowning.[1][2] In contrast to submerging the head face-forward in water, waterboarding precipitates an almost immediate gag reflex.[3] It can cause extreme pain, dry drowning, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation, other physical injuries including broken bones due to struggling against restraints, lasting psychological damage and, if uninterrupted, death.[4] Adverse physical consequences can manifest themselves months after the event, while psychological effects can last for years.[5]

Yes, potentially it's a painful procedure but nobody of them died.

And those who did will keep it to themselves.

In that case nobody would ever hear about waterboarding being ever used.

I've been water boarded. It's not too bad, although it's scary as hell while it's happening. A few seconds last forever.

Since when is scaring someone "torture"?

What have we Americans become?

Do you all against water boarding terrorists not realize that to get into the US Navy you have to be able to hold your breath under water for X amount of minutes without coming up for air?

Navy Seals make water boarded terrorists look like a bunch of *******.

Hell Bush probably had to do something similar to get into the US Coastgaurd.
