~> 
~> The so-called "water treatment" was commonly applied. The
victim was bound
~> or otherwise secured in a prone position; and water was forced through his
~> mouth and nostrils into his lungs and stomach until he lost consciousness.
~> Pressure was then applied, sometimes by jumping upon his abdomen to force
~> the water out. The usual practice was to revive the victim and successively
~> repeat the process. There was evidence that this torture was used in the
~> following places: China, at Shanghai, Peiping and Nanking; French
~> Indo-China, at Hanoi and Saigon; Malaya, at Singapore; Burma, at Kyaikto;
~> Thailand, at Chumporn; Andaman Islands, at Port Blair; Borneo, at
~> Jesselton; Sumatra, at Medan, Tadjong Karang and Palembank; Java, at
~> Batavia, Bandung, Soerabaja and Buitennzong; Celebes, at Makassar;
~> Portuguese Timor, at Ossu and Dilli; Philippines, at Manila, Nichols Field,
~> Palo Beach and Dumaguete; Formosa, at Camp Haito; and in Japan, at Tokyo."
~> 
~> THAT is the practice that YOU claim is identical to what was done by the US

used by the
~> Japanese, and Japanese military personell, and some civilians, were
~> prosecuted for using the same method the US interrogators."  And
for all of

You cannot do it.  You cannot even try to do it.  But you also cannot admit
that you were wrong.
