People were SODOMIZED with chemical lights at Abu Ghraib this according to the Taguba report. Waterboarding was considered torture when it was used during the Spanish Inquisitions. It was considered torture when we put a Japanese General in PRISON for doing it to OUR troops during WW2. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15886834 In 1947, the U.S. charged a Japanese officer, Yukio Asano, with war crimes for waterboarding a U.S. civilian. Asano was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. "All of these trials elicited compelling descriptions of water torture from its victims, and resulted in severe punishment for its perpetrators," writes Evan Wallach in the Columbia Journal of Transnational Law. On Jan. 21, 1968, The Washington Post ran a front-page photo of a U.S. soldier supervising the waterboarding of a captured North Vietnamese soldier. The caption said the technique induced "a flooding sense of suffocation and drowning, meant to make him talk." The picture led to an Army investigation and, two months later, the court martial of the soldier. There wouldnt be any question if forced sodomy and waterboarding were torture if it were done to OUR soldiers. I gotta say appologies for torture make my skin crawl.
