Is this torture?

This is the CIA's definition of waterboarding:

"The prisoner is bound to an inclined board, feet raised and head slightly below the feet. Cellophane is wrapped over the prisoner's face and water is poured over him. Unavoidably, the gag reflex kicks in and a terrifying fear of drowning leads to almost instant pleas to bring the treatment to a halt."

How does the prisoner breathe with the cellophane over the face?

How can anyone say it's torture based solely on the descriptions provided to us by anti-war advocates?

Irene Cara got waterboarded in Flashdance and seemed to do alright . . .

That was waterchaired. Totally different. And she got tips.

Point of order. I am pretty sure Irene Cara only sang the theme song to Flashdance, and that maybe Jennifer Beals is the one who got water-somethinged.

Correction noted. Although it may have been the body-double who got watered, since Beals didn't do much of the dancing.

I thought Irene Cara sang the song to Fame! (I'm gonna live forever). She was Flashdance too? Ho.
