But then it graduated quickly to things like waterboarding, which everybody knows about.
But there were techniques that were, in my view, that were worse than waterboarding.
Like, for example, there was the cold cell.
They chain you to an eye bolt in the ceiling.
So you can't lay or kneel or sit or anything.
You can't get comfortable in any way.
And they chill the cell to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
And then every hour somebody comes in and throws a bucket of ice water on you.
But we killed people with that technique.
The Justice Department never said we could kill people.
How many people died with that?
At least two with that technique.
