In the U.S., waterboarding has been considered illegal since the Spanish-American War when a U.S. Army major was found guilty of using waterboarding to torture a Philippine insurgent. The major was sentenced to ten years as punishment.
During the Vietnam War, waterboarding was used on North Vietnamese prisoners, and in one case, a soldier was court-martialed and discharged from the U.S. Army after photographs of him applying the torture appeared in the Washington Post.
