Of course, the fact that you were water boarded 6 times is "unprovable" but we are supposed to take your word for it? Maybe your friends at a social gathering will take you at your word, but here on these Forums, you need to have some credible source backing your statements, otherwise they are just laughable. Especially, when we have links to show that CIA officers were unable to stand it for more than 14 seconds, and a right-wing radio talk show host had it done to prove, like you, that it was not a big deal and not torture only to tell the whole country the opposite?
Erich "Mancow" Muller, a Chicago-based conservative radio host, recently decided to silence critics of waterboarding once and for all. He would undergo the procedure himself, and then he would be able to confidently convince others that it is not, in fact, torture.
Or so he thought. Instead, Muller came out convinced.
"It is way worse than I thought it would be, and that's no joke," Mancow said. "It is such an odd feeling to have water poured down your nose with your head back... It was instantaneous... and I don't want to say this: absolutely torture."

I'm sure there is, but if you want to be credible on these Forums, you might want to come up with facts to back up your fairy tales. I would much rather be boring and unpredictable then to be laughed at for making up la-la-land tales.
I never said that is wasn't unpleasant....I said it causes no physical harm, therefore it's not torture.
