At the risk of getting squicked, can anyone explain to me what exactly waterboarding is so I can have an opinion on it? (It keeps sounding like some kind of sport, which I know it isn't but something to hang the label on would help...)

EDIT: Okay, thank you all. Now I know. Nasty business.

As I understand it, waterboarding involves strapping someone down, blindfolding them, and pouring water on their face/up their nose/in their mouth in an effort to simulate drowning. I could be wrong, though.
