O'Reilly falsely equates waterboarding of detainees, training for U.S. military

~

On January 25, Bill O'Reilly falsely equated the waterboarding of detainees by U.S. interrogators with the training U.S. soldiers undergo.

In fact, officials familiar with both the techniques used in harsh interrogations and those used in military training programs have said that such a comparison is false.

Those who undergo certain interrogation techniques in such training programs are aware that there are safeguards and know they can stop the training immediately if necessary.
