Waterboarding is 'drowning', 'water torture': expert testimony

Interrogation expert Malcolm Nance, who serves as a counterterrorism and intelligence consultant for the U.S. government and was formerly an instructor at the Navy's Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape school in California, did not mince when detailing the dangers of waterboarding, the highly controversial interrogation technique to which he was previously subjected.

"I didn't feel like I was about to die, but I understood that the process of degrading my respiratory system was taking effect," he said in an interview with ABC News' Brian Ross. "I was drowning."

    He is talking about SERE school, been there, done that. We wouldnt subject our own troops to torture just to show them how it is done. This guy has an agenda.

    If this is torture? He should be charged for admitting to having tortured our own service members. He wasnt to worried about when he was doing it to our naval aviators, was he? I wonder why he is speaking out on behalf of the terrorist now? "

    I know what SERE school is. I'm glad you read about it. "
    I wish you would do the same, particularly where it says "resistance to interrogation" . . I mean, after all, you've been there so you should at least be familiar with the training you've accomplished, lol."
    I didnt realize I was being interrogated. But thanks. Asslick.....I mean axekick

    I have been through SERE school and several "excercises" between Recon and the SpecForces.

    The most basic rule about interrogation techniques is "No Death - No permanent damage (broken bones etc)"

    Mental stress to leftists is definitely a torture since it r More..

  • It's time to retire the Orwellian, happy-fun term "waterboarding." It's not waterboarding, it's "the drowning torture" or "water torture."

  • If something like waterboarding, which is phychologically terrifying; yet leaves no physical damage, is torture, then what word to you use for sawing someone's head off?

    When did our civilization get taken over by such sanctimonious, naive pussies? Whenever I see some libtard wringing his hands over waterboarding, I immediately think of Alec Guinness' character in the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai". Sometime, looking at the big picture from the perspective of basic survival More..

  • Evolution continues to evolve humans from the barbarians we once were to intelligent beings capable of empathy and sympathy for our fellow human beings.

    We have come along way since the bloody Roman empire. OF course we still have barbarians in our mist who have little intellect and want to kill and torture and be like "duh, huh, what . . .whaddaya mean it's torture, duh . . .i don't understand . . . .kill, kill, kill and kick some ass. yeeha!"

    Actually, they sound a lot like the More..

    I dont know if it is or not. But it sure describes you! I think you are an snotty nose kid that hasn't lived long enough to figure out anything on your own. You obviously get all of your info off of tv. You only know what someone has told you or you heard it on tv. By looking at your profile, that is all you do, you record the major networks. You edit, what you want, or post full segments like this one, as long as it supports your drivel. Then you act like you really know what you are talking about.
    You attacked my parenting skill and claim that I have asked for help to raise my kids. Based on what? show me where I said I needed help. You attacked me personnaly so, Im not about to be poilite to you. You need to get away from your computer, stop eating your moms peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. asswipe!

    Once again you could not be further from correct. I watch television about an average of 3 hours per week. I have never once in my life edited a video to post, they come directly from other online news sources and blogs. I never attacked your parenting skills, I attacked you for trying to force the media corporations to cater their programming to what you find suitable for your children to watch. You lost and dropped out of that argument, should you wish to continue it go back to the post it was under. I moved out of my parents house 22 years ago.

    So, that means you have nothing left except calling me "asswipe," which I reiterate is a mature comment for someone of your intellect.

    You tend to begin argumentative comments under posts, as you lose the argument you divert attention onto a non-issue such as your children's television programming, when I separated from my parents, . . . just anything that will prevent you from having to stand by your original inaccurate statements.
