FeedsReplying to a comment on In Which Twisted World is Waterboarding Not Torture?
While doing some interesting research I came across an article by Darius Rejali of Reed College Fame.
He had this to say:"In 1968, a soldier in the 1st Cavalry Division was court-martialed for waterboarding a prisoner in Vietnam. In fact, the practice was identified as a crime as early as 1901, when the Army judge advocate general court-martialed Maj. Edwin Glenn of the 5th U.S. Infantry for waterboarding, a technique he did not hesitate to call torture."
So we've even used the standard of waterboarding as torture to deal with our own soldiers, to interrogate enemies in a hostile country that was undergoing a massive insurgency/civil war.
