The self-righteous prima donnas that themselves couldn't soil their pinkies rucking up and putting themselves in the fight love to Monday-morning quarterback and second-guess those who are taking care of business.
They want to split hairs and actually quantify how "terrorized" a terrorist might be if he has a towel over his head and somebody sticks a garden hose in his mouth.
Let's take a look at precisely what enhanced interrogation techniques are, at least according to some journalist shitstick at the All Barack Channel:
Waterboarding: The prisoner is bound to a declined board, feet raised and head slightly below the feet. Material is wrapped over the prisoner's face and water is poured over them, asphyxiating the prisoner.
Hypothermia: The prisoner is left to stand naked in a cell kept near 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), while being regularly doused with cold water in order to increase the rate at which heat is lost from the body.
Stress positions: Prisoners are forced to stand, handcuffed and with their feet shackled to an eye bolt in the floor (and/or wall), for more than 40 hours, causing the prisoners' weight to be placed on just one or two muscles. This creates an intense amount of pressure on the legs, leading first to pain and then muscle failure.[75]
Abdomen strikes: A hard, open-handed slap is dealt to the prisoner's abdomen. Doctors consulted over the matter advised against using a punch, which could cause lasting internal damage.
Insult slap: An open-handed slap is delivered to the prisoner's face, aimed at causing pain and triggering fear.
Shaking: The interrogator forcefully grabs the front of the prisoner's shirt and shakes them.
Except, of course, that waterboarding does not result in asphyxia. The terrorist bastard might THINK he's drowning, but he's not.
