OK...now that you've 'stirred my brain cells out of their dormancy/hibernation'...I've been thinking about this topic.


For me and my issue of what 'real torture is and isn't'...I could cause another human being more discomfort from an exterior room without laying my hands on them...ergo the reasoning for my lack of discomfort or avoidance for waterboarding!!!


If I was just applying the loud noise via a external speaker towards a subject matter, or controlling the knob on the thermostat for more heat or more cold to be applied.  For me and my abhorrence of violence to another human; the mire thought of "would I have to subject that other human with 'MY OWN HANDS', tying them up/blindfolding them and tipping that board at an angle and then pouring the water over their heads while I had to listen to them struggle to breathe.


I've discovered I'm pretty squeamish about doing the 'nasty deed' as long as I'm not the one putting my hands on them...I would make a good director of the implementation...and my coming to terms with that thought is greatly unsettling...even with my limp humor about Roseanne Barr screeching the National Anthem into their ears!!!
