Apparently you think that simulated drowning is a joke, Earl. BTW - Drowning is
death as caused by suffocation when a liquid causes interruption of the body's
absorption of oxygen from the air leading to asphyxia.

So, drowning is suffocation. Waterboarding is simulated suffocation - putting
the subject in literal fear for his life. Waterboarding IS torture as much as
extraction of fingernails - especially as it acts on the instinctual level.

ENJOY!!!
