Using logic, we can determine that any method beyond standard verbal interrogation is excessive and immoral. Why does the method even exist for the purpose of extracting information if not for the threat it imposes? It is so blatant. The fact that people support waterboarding, torture or not, is disturbing. It is clearly a case of "as long as its not me." Whether you consider it torture or not doesn't even matter because we all have different stances anyways. It still is what it is.
Let me put it another way: If it isn't torture, what is it? A creative way to administer truth serum? The dude wouldn't tell you shit before, but you poured a gallon of water on his face and now he'll sing like a bird! I wonder what happened! I guess it was holy water or something.
Get fucking real.
