Waterboarding Is OK For US Troops, But Not For KSM

Here's a video of Liz Cheney and Eugene Robinson debating waterboarding as torture. Ms. Cheney naturally refutes all his points. Found at Hot Air.

Robinson keeps referring to waterboarding as torture, saying it is illegal and compares it to robbing a bank. However, according to Robinson, it is perfectly acceptable for US military personnel to be waterboarded as part of their training, because they know that they are not going to actually drown.

So, following Robinson's logic, waterboarding itself is not torture; not being told that you won't actually drown is.

Look for it at 10:30 into the video.
