During the Congressional inquiry on this method and others, many witnesses said torture was unreliable in getting accurate information. Interigators stated that other non violate methods got information worked faster and information was more reliable.

Well if we are to believe the reports of the CIA itself. the number is 4.
The names of those 4 have been reported to Congress.
That said I would want some back up of that number, before I bought into it whole heartedly.

While I'm not sure I'm willing to buy into the number being only 4 at this time, I am more than willing to believe that the number is very low.
(Note the question of it being the right thing to do is not eliminated by the low number, however the number/scale of waterboarding does speak to how much reporting of it is out of scale.)

So there are the Felons who committed multiple violent felonies in the commission of these 4 acts of torture.

Where are they?

Why haven't they been arrested?

Why are they above the law, but you can get busted for having an expired inspection sticker on your car?

A fairly objective article about the use of waterboarding is here.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/11/exclusive-only-.html

That article says 3 of which one was Kahlid Sheikh Mohammed (which may well be a real world example of the ticking time bomb example).
And ABC is not exactly a bastion of conservative thought and backing.

How low has the USA sunk?

It didnt sink... Ever heard of Espionage Act of 1917 and Sedition act 1917?
A man was arrested for laughing at the Rookies in the army boot camp!
A woman was arrested for not donating to the red cross who were helping the US army!!!
One of the Presidential candidates Eugene V. Debs was thrown in prison in 1918 for delivering at anit-war speech!
A German-American was wrapped in American flag and lynched!!! The jury dismissed the case!
Patriot Act is a joke comapred tp Sedition Act of 1917. Level for example would be in prison right now for posting this link...
