We should be able to use waterboarding, in exceptional circumstances. After 9-11, it was used tens of thousands of times.
But only three of those times were on our enemies. The rest were on our soldiers at SERE school. When I attended SERE, they had other unpleasant ways to introduce us to 'enhanced interrogation' techniques - waterboarding came a few years later.
