Water Torture: As American as Apple Pie. (Thanks to Bush/Cheney)

What does it mean when torture, already the definition of “cruel,” becomes usual?

Try to remain calm -- even as you begin to feel your chest tighten and your heart race.  Try not to panic as water starts flowing into your nose and mouth, while you attempt to constrict your throat and slow your breathing and keep some air in your lungs and fight that growing feeling of suffocation.  Try not to think about dying,
