Just think of all the money we can save if we brought waterboarding to our local police precincts. We could get confessions in murder cases in no time and help to improve the wait time in the court system while at the same time saving taxpayers money on lengthy and costly murder trials. Though why constrain it to just murder cases since it is only an enhanced interrogation technique. Martha Stewart would have copped to insider training in no time. In fact we could have members of the administration when they testify to congress be waterboarded just to be sure of the truth of what they are testifying to.
