From Oprah and Larry King, to perhaps a courtroom near you. How to explain the case of Delaware pediatrician Melvin Morse, assuming the daughter's story is accurate? The Mother was also arrested, for allegedly allowing the abuse.

A Delaware pediatrician who writes about near-death experiences of children and has appeared on "Oprah" is accused of waterboarding his 11-year-old daughter for two years, according to Delaware State Police.

Dr. Melvin Morse, 58, and his wife Pauline, 40, were arrested Tuesday, a day after their daughter told a child advocate that her father had "waterboarded" her four times between May 2009 and May 2011 while her mother watched and did nothing to stop the abuse, Cpl. Gary Fournier told ABC News.

    Abuse, yes, just as locking your daughter up like we do criminals would be abuse, but that does not make locking up criminals “torture” and waterboarding is also still not “torture” despite what the moronic ABC headline states.
    Also, I find the daughters claims more than a bit dubious.

    Waterboarding is the inducement of drowning, not the mere imitation of it. It is in every conceivable aspect a form of torture and has **always** been considered such by the United States Armed Forces. Please inform yourself before you begin expatiating ignorantly on the subject.
