My first diary to the Kos groaning board will be brief.
The dithering by the multitude over the gray areas of the waterboarding question needs to stop. This is a settled question and the answer can be found in the dusty volumes of our own recent history. And while the MSM is Google-averse, we diners here at the banquet are not.
As it happens, four Japanese defendants were tried before a U.S. military commission at Yokohama, Japan, in 1947 for their outrageous treatment of American and Allied captives. The cases of the USA vs. Hideji Nakamura, Yukio Asano, Seitara Hata and Takeo Kita, water suffocation techniques were specifically cited as war crimes.
Note: I am a Boolean dunce. Please forgive me if the link I provided comes up dry.
