That's pretty ridiculous. I definitely think that counts at torture. However, with respect to the lawsuit, I don't think that the defendant is lying about how anyone holding the guy down would have let him up if he raised his arm up. If the guy was actually drowning, I have enough faith in human nature to believe that somebody would have said, "Hey guys...uh...shouldn't we like...uh...let him breathe a little?". Unless they held his arms down too......

If they had him "pinned down" he would be unable to raise arm. 😕

"We're not the mean waterboarding company that people think we are," said George Brunt, general counsel for the firm, which sells a combination of online and personalized instruction -- packaged as "coaching" and running $3,000 to $15,000 -- to customers who are solicited by telephone.
Who runs this place, Dick Cheney?!? 🙄
i liked this bit: And it's widely acknowledged that the supervisor, Joshua Christopherson, then told the assembled sales team, whose numbers had been lagging: "You saw how hard Chad fought for air right there. I want you to go back inside and fight that hard to make sales."
you can see the sales team waterboarding their customers. 'Are you ready to buy our product yet? No? Tough, guy, huh? Ok, say hello to mr. cattle prod'.
