Credit to David Shuster for this question. Who's heard an answer?

1. Heh, I've been asking similar questions

If waterboarding is so reliable and legal, why did they only waterboard 3 out of the thousands of "terrorists" they captured? And why didn't they waterboard Saddam to find out where he was hiding his WMDs?
