Good Discussion of Waterboarding

Rich Lowery has written an insightful post on the ethics of waterboarding, making some points that are seldom heard in the debate--such as the fact that the morality of this practice depends on the context or circumstances in which it is used. Obviously, there are situations where it would clearly be wrong, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of morally permissible cases. See Lowery's column at this link:
