The U.S. does not toture

From "The Week":

"It [waterboarding] was first used during the Spanish Inquisition in the 1500s on people suspected of holding Jewish, Protestant, or other heretical beliefs. During World War II, both the Nazis and the Japanese used waterboarding during the interrogation of resistant prisoners. Khmer Rouge employed waterboarding during its reign of terror in Cambodia. Most recently, the Bush administration authorized CIA interrogators to use waterboarding as one of several 'enhanced interrogation techniques' for prisoners capture in the war on terrorism."

AWESOME.
