This Is What "Waterboarding" Looks Like
Pictures and descriptions of what it is (torture) and how it works (makes the victim suck in water until they pass out). It's a throw back to the medieval days when forced confessions were the norm. We are moving backwards as a culture when otherwise decent people try and defend this and other such practices, even on ostensibly utilitarian or practical grounds.
