Waterboarding article
Re:this edit - the introduction to the waterboard article is the product of long discussion and consensus on the talk page. Please get consensus on the talk page before changing text that has been discussed so extensively. I've reverted your edit. Raul654 (talk) 03:14, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
The introduction to the waterboarding page was in direct violation with Misplaced Pages's policy against including points of view in the articles. If you wish to express your point of view please do so on the discussion page. As for the article, I'll continue to scrub it to comform with Misplaced Pages's standards.
