My Friend Sent Me this Email About United States CIA Torture Programs

Dear Friend, The White House has now admitted to directing the CIA to "waterboard" detainees during interrogations. In case you've lived in a box the past several months, waterboarding is the forced, non-fatal drowning of a prisoner. According to experts (special forces officers who train our soldiers to cope should they be captured by enemies and treated this way), it provokes such a helpless, desperate, terrifying reaction that the subject will say anything at all to stop it. Waterboarding has long been recognized as torture -- an exemplar of torture.
