Replying to a message of Earl Croasmun to Dan Ceppa:

 EC> ~> It's still waterboarding and it's still against the USCMJ, among
 EC> other  ~> laws in which the US is a signator. 

 EC> Your basis for believing that "it" was illegal was that someone was
 EC> convicted of "it."  But now you know that he was convicted of
 EC> something dramatically different, that involved ingestion of water,
 EC> intentional damage to internal organs, and usually death.  The fact
 EC> that you lump everything that has the word "water" connected to it
 EC> into one package is just hilariously illogical.

 EC> If you can find a copy of something called the "USCMJ," show where
 EC> "it" is made "illegal" there.

We both know that he's referring to the Uniform Code of Military Justice,
or UCMJ.
