No one's forcing doritos down your throat against your will, are they? That someone could be stupid enough to try and equate the two is mind boggling.

Anything done improperly can cause, as you say, "plenty of harm and even death". Doesn't make it cruel and unusual. Is that plain enough for you to understand?

This is still retarded. Waterboarding is intentional asphyxiation. There is no way to safely asphyxiate someone. And of course there's no way to guarantee that it is done properly every time or that it is done only to big bad terrorists.

And it should seem pretty cruel and unusual to a normal human being to be borrowing a technique from the Spanish Inquisition, Nazis and the Khmer Rouge, but I guess some don't mind that company.

Waterboarding is the same as a mock execution, which is illegal under U.S. as well as international law (like it matters to you).
