I dont believe these are torture at all. For instance, waterboarding, there were medical personnel present during the whole time. It creates tremendous discomfort theres no doubt about it. It creates tremendous fear, but the fact is there was no lasting damage to these people and we got information from them, which is very helpful.
Were not talking about anyone being burned or stabbed or cut or anything like that. Were talking about people being made to stand in awkward positions, have water put into their nose and into their mouth. Nobody suffered any lasting injuries from this, Congressman Peter King.
