Why is it that whenever someone raises this point, they always fail
to recognize that the people who are subjected to waterboarding also are
subjected to it in training. They know how it works. It's just that
it's unpleasant enough to remain effective.
That said, I'd gladly submit myself to waterboarding if you'll allow me
to deploy any of the tactics typically used by the people being
subjected to it in return.

training, carried out by people on your own side, in conditions where you
are in control, where you know the outcome and you know when it will end,
and being subjected to the same thing by your enemies while you're kept in
solitary confinement with no access to anyone else, not knowing where you
are, against your will, time after time for months and years, not knowing
when it will be over, but knowing that it's going to happen again and again
and again, and listening for the steps in the corridor that tell you they're
coming back.
