- Joseph Farah. "Waterboarding is not torture" WorldNetDaily. January 2, 2008 - "here's why waterboarding is not torture.
- Do you know the U.S. military waterboards hundreds of our own soldiers every year? It is part of the conditioning Special Forces troops undergo to prepare for battle and the possibility of capture by the enemy.
- In other words, it's OK for us to do this to America's best and brightest but it's too horrible for our worst enemies?
- Does this make sense to anyone?"
