I hope you're joking. We absolutely DO torture people. We still use waterboarding. Look it up. It's sickening.
Most conservatives think waterboarding is allowable and, while it has led to some useful information from terrorists, I don't think we should be doing it.
While proponents of it say that it doesn't physically harm the person, the article on this from Wikipedia appears to say that it can lead to death. I could definitely see where it might give someone a heart attack.

That is sick!

If I ever want information out of anybody........I'll just hire Jack Bauer thank you very much!
