Oh, by the way, you did make a feeble attempt to suggest that Chase Nielsen
got "the same method" that the US used on three terrorists six years ago. 
Wallach selectively quoted Nielsen in a manner that made it appear that way
to the uninformed, perhaps, but it is not true.  A more complete
description was given in the book _The Doolittle Raid_, by Schultz, p. 233,
concerning the interrogation of Nielsen, Meder, and Hallmark:

"The water torture was first.  The men were tied and stretched flat on
their backs on the floor with guards holding their legs.  Water was forced
into their mouths and noses until they passed out; it was not unlike
drowning.  The Japanese would force the water out, usually by jumping on
their stomachs.  When they revived, brought back from the point of death,
they were stretched out again and the process was repeated.  The Kempei Tai
knew exactly how far to go before reviving them."

Gosh, you must just feel awful about getting caught on so many falsehoods
in such a short time.
