Many of you may recall this topic being discussed as a political issue in the current 2008 Presidential Election.

For those who aren't familiar with the topic, water boarding is a form of tortue which utilizes water and simulates drowning in a controlled setting. The process has allegedly been used by the CIA to interrogate detained terrorists and is seen more of an interrogation technique than torture. That's right, United States law does not recognize water boarding as a form of torture and allows the practice. Seems ironic because government officials claim that the United States of America definitely does not practice torture.

Do you think water boarding should be classified as tortue in United States law and the practice be stopped?
