Could someone describe "water-boarding" to me?

Does it actually involve a board?

(Jeezus, how sick is it that my government is using this torture technique and I have to ask this question?)

2. tie you face down to board, dip until you think you're gonna drown, then

pull you up and have a chat.

I saw it in a WWII movie once. The nazis were doing it to Brit spies. Looks very unpleasant.

I came close to drowning a couple of times as a kid. I don't remember enjoying it.
