Critque on "Not a Reasonable Excuse"

The essay starts off pretty strong. Milena touches on background information on waterboarding that people should understand before reading the essay. The first 2 paragraphs she wrote come across on topic and it does get her point out. After that, the rest of her essay seems to go astray from her thesis and becomes a bit repetitive. After reading the whole essay it makes you realize that what the essay is trying to prove is not the original thesis of "... there is no doubt that the majority of the population would agree that tying up someone to a board and pouring water on their face sounds a lot like torture." The essay is to me was trying to prove that waterboarding should not be used. A little more evidence for certain claims would greatly help you improve your ethical argument.
