Waterboarding and Tormento de Agua are actually different methods of torture (though both equally repugnant). Tormento de Agua consists of force-feeding someone vasts quantities of water until his stomach and bowels burst under the pressure. Waterboarding consists of giving someone the feeling of drowning. Waterboarding comes closer to the so-called “bathtub” method cherished by the Gestapo during WWII, in which the prisoner’s head is pushed under water in a tub until he almost drowns, then briefly taken out, then pushed under again etc..
After a few dives, the prisoner will confess to anything you want him to confess to (and then some)..
