Basically, the strap you down onto a board, legs higher than your head. They put a clothe over your face and continuously dump water onto your face. The water sticks to the clothes and so when you try to breath in you can only breath in water, which kicks in the gag reflex. They do this until you basically "tap out" Usually people last for an average of 14 seconds. I guess the best tactic is to hold your breath as long as you can lol.

Waterboarding can cause extreme pain, dry drowning, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation, other physical injuries including broken bones due to struggling against restraints, lasting psychological damage and death.[1]

No physical damage at all!

Incorrect information.

How can it cause brain damage from oxygen deprivation after 14 seconds?
Thats like saying holding your breath for 30 seconds will kill you. You will not die from waterboarding under interrogation done by the U.S. Government.

Yes it can cause phychological damage.
Physical damage will not last.

Honestly, the worst part about waterboarding is being tied down.
After all the soldiers we've waterboarded we have received positive feedback

Did you even read the letter?:

Waterboarding is torture. It causes severe physical suffering in the form of reflexive choking, gagging, and the feeling of suffocation. It may cause severe pain in some cases. If uninterrupted, waterboarding will cause death by suffocation. It is also foreseeable that waterboarding, by producing an experience of drowning, will cause severe mental pain and suffering. The technique is a form of mock execution by suffocation with water. The process incapacitates the victim from drawing breath, and causes panic, distress, and terror of imminent death. Many victims of waterboarding suffer prolonged mental harm for years and even decades afterward....

-waterboarding is breaking several international rules, such as the Geneve convention snip-

... Under the laws of the land, U.S. personnel who order or take part in waterboading are committing criminal acts—torture, assault, and war crimes—which are punishable as felony offenses. The Department of Justice should clarify this to all U.S. personnel, and prosecute violations of the law.

We have no doubt that if a captured American were subjected to waterboarding, the U.S. government would condemn this as torture and demand or seek prosecution.
 

That looks pretty severe to me, and not at all positive. It might be "positive" (effective) as an interrogation technique, but it would be just as effective to crush every bone in the victims body, until they say something. The result doesn't justify the method.

Yes, Im just not sure you have.
You are just clipping a piece to back up your argument, complete forgetting about the text around.
