why?

Why do we have to even say this?

Waterboarding has the ability to make the subject answer any question with the truth, a half-truth or outright lie in order to stop the procedure. Subjects usually resort to all three, often in rapid sequence. Most media representations or recreations of the waterboarding are inaccurate, amateurish and dangerous improvisations, which do not capture the true intensity of the act. Contrary to popular opinion, it is not a simulation of drowning -- it is drowning.

Did anyone NOT KNOW that this was torture? Did anyone NOT KNOW torturing people is wrong?

And when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
