[Anyone] New Yorker: U.S. Waterboarding in 1900

[Thos Myers]

A letter by A. F. Miller, of the 32nd Volunteer Infantry Regiment,
published in the Omaha World-Herald in May, 1900, told of how Miller's
unit uncovered hidden weapons by subjecting a prisoner to what he and
others called the "water cure." "Now, this is the way we give them the
water cure," he explained. "Lay them on their backs, a man standing on
each hand and each foot, then put a round stick in the mouth and pour a
pail of water in the mouth and nose, and if they don't give up pour in
another pail. They swell up like toads. I'll tell you it is a terrible
torture."

And this will be a bushco legacy as well - torture by any other name is
stil torture and against international laws as well as our very own
Constitution, which bushco disregards more and more.

Impeachment would certainly begin to revitalize our now  lost humanity.
