I actually thought that waterboarding was filling the person's stomach with water via a tube - then hitting the distended gut with sticks etc.
That's just plain water torture then.
Unlike -
"Waterboarding
induces panic and suffering by forcing a person to inhale water into the sinuses, pharynx, larynx, and trachea.
The head is tilted back and water is poured into the upturned mouth or nose. Eventually the subject cannot exhale more air or cough out more water, the lungs are collapsed, and the sinuses and trachea are filled with water. The subject is drowned from the inside, filling with water from the head down. The chest and lungs are kept higher than the head so that coughing draws water up and into the lungs while avoiding total suffocation. "His sufferings must be that of a man who is drowning, but cannot drown."
