183 times was actually a false number concerning how many times he was waterboarded. that number came from the amount of buckets used in the process. Abu Zubayda himself gave a far lower number for how many times he was actually waterboarded.

I agree with you Jimmie that water-boarding for the most part does not physical damage and you claim that is leave no "long lasting mental scars." Well you also claim that it is used to frighten the victim. Isn't Fear a form of Terrorism?

I think you should do a little more research to find out what, exactly, was involved. I suspect that you really haven't read the most recent information that's been released about our interrogation program.

Also, if he cracked in just 35 second of waterboarding why did we waterboard him another 183 times. Either this CIA agent is lying (he didn't crack and give info) or he has just admitted that 182 times Zubayda was waterboarded/tortured was just for sport.

Either way I think he should be prosecuted.

Then I suggest we pay restitution to the families of he Japanese soldiers we executed for waterboarding because we called it torture, opsie!
