So, Teddy Kennedy gets on his pulpit and throws a fit. Statistically speaking, it is safer to be waterboarded by elements within the US government than it is to drive in a car with Ted behind the wheel (especially beware crossing bridges)! Bottom line...don't violate USC rights, but I could give a rat's azz about non-usc suspected terrorists. This method is only a tool, albeit harsh, that causes little or NO physical injury. Sure, it should be used only under the most dire of circumstances. If bad guy knows something that might pertain to an impending attack, location of terror cells, etc., by all means pour that water!
