"We Only Had To Waterboard Those Guys A Couple of Times"

That was the claim by the torture justifiers in the CIA and the Bush Administration. They said that they waterboarded those guys and they stared spilling their guts in less than a minute. That was a leading point in their "this was no big deal" argument.

Turns out that was just bullshit. If they had to waterboard those guys that many times, either waterboarding was not as effective as they claimed or, if it was, the use of waterboarding was more sadism than interrogation.
