"Water Boarding"
According to the CIA, this is not torture:
    Water Boarding: the prisoner is bound to a board with feet raised, and cellophane wrapped round his head. Water is poured onto his face and is said to produce a fear of drowning which leads to a rapid demand for the suffering to end.
    [from The defining of torture in a new world war]
Once again, when moral relativists like those in the Bush Administration or those on the Left seek to redefine terms, the words of that Classical Liberal Confucius come to mind: "When words lose their meaning, people lose their liberty."
