Defending the Indefensible
“The media usually characterize (sic) the practice (waterboarding) as ’simulated drowning’. That’s incorrect. To be effective, waterboarding is usually real drowning that simulates death.” – Judge Evan Wallach.
Although Judge Wallach is currently a federal judge in the court of International Trade, he is, at least according to his Wikipedia entry, “one of the nations foremost experts on war crimes and the law of war.” Most importantly to this posting, his quote is correct.
