Yeah it's baffling to me. Liberals are cool with killing babies and unarmed terrorists in cold blood but a non lethal interrogation technique is "inconsistent with our values? Keep in mind I am completely cool with killing unarmed terrorists with a double tap. WATERBOARDING works, it's non lethal, doesn't even leave a bruise. But somehow it's too scary to do to a terrorist.
it in and of itself may not be violently brutal...but...through a lil math in there and shit changes quickly...
a couple waterboardings....fine...
but day in and day out for several...weeks,months...would truly be torture
