Providing cake&icecream to the prisoner can be considered torture under the current legislation.
As noted I have repeatedly requested the case summary, the case name, or the name of the U.S. soldier from the Vietnam war who was successfully prosecuted for waterboarding. I have been requesting this since that article started circling its way around the net a couple of years ago and to this day not a single person has met the challenge and provided the information.
I read the ****ing article it does not in any way change the fact that the international and domestic definitions of torture are completely subjective.
No, you're just being silly. And rather insulting to compare cake and ice cream to waterboarding torture.
And as I have said, there is no case study on the internet. It was after all sometime ago and not something moved on to the internet, but there is more than enough reference to it to accept that it happened. And there is no meaningful or credible objection to the claim. I see no reason not to accept it. If you have some credible source questioning it, please provide it. But until then, we have plenty of evidence that waterboarding was illegal during WWII, in the VN war, and in the states. It is also forbidden in the army field manual.
And there is no honest way to make waterboarding questionable and not illegal. Like I said, you're argument is weak. Simply not wanting to see something is not considered valid argument.
