Enhanced interrogation? Are you kidding? You can give it a fancy name, but in the end, it translates as torture. Should the United States use such a practice of waterboarding, should the occasion arrive in which captured terrorists would refuse to talk to possibly give information to save innocent lives?
What is waterboarding? Up until just recently, I had no idea what waterbording was, until I saw the video (link is below) I was thinking of embedding the video here in this blog, I changed my mind after watching it. On that video, even when the person volunteered to have it done to him and showed what waterboarding is, I could not stand, it brought tears to my eyes. The video is graphic, or at least to me it is. Please do not see if you do not have to. Link.
To me, waterboarding as any other torture, is an act that goes against what I believe in. It's the opposite of compassion. It is morally wrong. If math taught me anything is that when adding two negatives, you do not get a positive. I do believe it is also unconstitutional. It is just a terrible thing to do. I might be labeled as weak individual and not knowing much about reality, but that is my opinion. I do not know exactly what someone under going waterboarding torture feels like, but the thought of knowing death is coming is most horrific in this life. I would not wish it upon my worst enemy.
I'm just glad, that I am not the only one thinking this way. Take a look at the video below:
