It is being said that waterboarding interrogation techniques were used 183 times against Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the guy who says he planned the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
While I like to believe our nation is above torture, I recognize the desire to extract information that might prevent other attacks ... but that's not the point here.
I'm thinking that after just a time or two of making someone think they might drown and then saving them from drowning, the effectiveness has been spent. For the last 180 or so times, Mohammed simply had to wait for the torture to end, knowing that he would not die from it.
