They torture our people. We torture theirs. It happens left and right so I don't know why in the hell you're trying to act like waterboarding is a form of it. You don't have to be in danger of dying or permanent injury for it to be torture. I don't know where you came up with that definition, but it's not based in reality.
Having some journalists "try" it is a farce, too. They know it's going to stop. The real people it's done to don't. If someone really wanted to, they could make someone drown from it. Harmless? Very possibly.
I suppose you'd say tear spray in the eyes isn't torture just because you recover from it.

It's torture, flat out. Any of that stuff is.
