The jihadis should be cool with it: They did it to us, we do it to them. Is that not what the Koran is based off of?

And the guy was waterboarded for THREE MONTHS before he said anything. If it really scared him/hurt him, he would have said something the first time. Besides, what he gave us was probably false info anyway. I never said waterboarding was an accurate way to get information, but it is not torture.
