    This is the first time I have heard about “waterboarding”‚ I have seen it in movies but never knew it was a real life situation people can face. In my opinion about torturing people to be able to get the information involving an attack or any kind of crime‚ is unacceptable. I do not think that many people will give up their country‚ or group of people out to not be tortured. It is cruel‚ scary‚ and it will hunt a person for the rest of their life’s. Many people have committed crimes and terror attacks
