Waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques are torture. They are a crime against man and God. No spin can be placed on them to justify them. No fancy words can change these actions into anything but horror.
It does not matter if others are doing them. We are not the others. While committing these crimes, I hoped the people involved did not giggle and laugh like Daesh / Daw'aish. As a country, we are better than this.
Kudos to the Director of the C.I.A. for stepping up to the plate and saying NO.
