Water-boarding is not mentioned in the Geneva Conventions.  Further, nothing in the Geneva Conventions entitles someone to "due process" either. 




We "thought it was allowed" because under the law that governed the detainees it was allowed. 




Kind of like the response to why is Obama spending so much money?  Response: Bush spent a lot.


Anyway, that aside, not many people are making the case that the sole reason was they do worse things to us.  No, the reason was because we got information from it (confirmed by both parties) and that it was not illegal and it was allowed under all treaties we are a party to.
