I ran into this little nugget on the internet. While I think the interrogators went a little light on him, I do believe that this accurately represents what Waterboarding is all about. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed went through this particular interrogation technique and is rumored to have lasted 2 minutes and then gave up the names and locations to many terrorists around the world still planning attacks against us.
While I disagree with Alan Dershowtiz's stance on torture and think that any method that can extract valuable, accurate intelligence that can save American lives is worth it, I do agree with his idea for a compromise. His idea is a "torture warrant". Basically if the President or any high ranking official signs a warrant saying that "X" techniques may be used to extract information from a suspect. Personally, I'd rather torture a man to death then know that my pussy footing around made any information the suspect had useless because it was too late and innocent men, women and children died because of it. But that's just me being a big old softie when it comes to my fellow Americans. And yes, that includes EVERY American, black, white, Jew, Arab, Christian or Muslim.
