Because any information you obtained from waterboarding could not be used to convict someone in a criminal trial.
Waterboarding was appropriate here because nobody was interested in bringing OBL to trial for a crime. They were trying to kill the son of a bitch. Thats what you do in warfare. Jeez man! Even Barry got it. Why can't you?

Lets waterboard us some bankers and get to the bottom of this home mortage business, that is burning a whole in my pocket and sinking this country. The problem seemsv to be is we are pussy footing around with this effective waterboarding crap. Lets use it more not less. If it works , than use it. It has no long term effect, right?
What the hell is wrong with you people, we have way more deaths from murder in this country than terrorist attacks. Yet you only want to use this effective tool on three people so far. I have no problem using it if it is effective. Do ya'll? Who is the real vagina on this issue here?
I'm sorry WTF, I just don't agree with you. PJ's correct it would be unuseful in a court of law and it's warfare. Like I said, I've never been to war. I might well imagine that if I were to go to war, I'd use everything in my power to stay alive.

YOU are the target. You are at war. As to PJ and the court system, change it if this method is so effective. I have no problem doing that, would you? So far from all the research I have been able to come up with this waterboarding crap is just that. Nothing you have posted has made me think for a second that you have grasped the subject matter. I am sorry if that is harsh, PJ is having trouble too.
Marshall thinks waterboarding works except on him. He has lost all credibility, if he ever had any. I am all ears if anyone can point me in a logical direction. Give me an article or book that puts some science to this waterboarding shit. I don't wanna hear no more crap about how so and so was waterboarded, therefore they are an authority. That is not the question. I have been shocked before but that does not make me an expert on electrical torture.
