Waterboarding was used by the Japanese during World War II...

...according to the New York Times this morning. The lead story on the front page says:

The United States prosecuted some Japanese interrogators at war crimes trials after World War II for waterboarding and other methods detailed in the memos.

That settles it then. If it was torture then, then it's torture now. And if it was wrong for them to do it, then it's wrong for us to do it. End of conversation.
