Whaa...?

From an AP article about a water boarding demonstration outside of the Justice Department:
Protesters staged a waterboarding Monday outside the Justice Department, calling for a Senate committee to reject attorney general nominee Michael Mukasey because of his reluctance to define the interrogation tactic as torture.

The process was supposed to resemble the process that CIA interrogators are believed to have used on terror detainees until a few years ago.
Did I miss something? Is there any reason but naiveté to believe that the CIA (and the military) does not currently practice waterboarding?

I had the radio on this morning and they were talking about Mukasey and water boarding. There was mention that the practice was now forbidden in the military. There was no mention of the CIA.
