You watched Mythbusters too!!!

No, waterboarding is where the person feels like they're drowning on land.
No harm is done that I know of though.
And only 4 terrorists were waterboarded at Guantanamo.

"I.. I know my time has come" Tethesis said with a gasp, a torrent of blood flowing from his lips.
"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands

Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.

That's Chinese water torture. The thing done by the US is to give the victim the constant sensation of drowning. It was one of the three methods of torture proscribed by the Spanish Inquisition. It's a serious, horrible thing to suffer.

Only? How many people do you have to torture before it stops being 'only'?

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

No, they didn't.
