Cheney Next?
Conservative talk radio host Mancow tried out being waterboarded in an attempt to disprove it as torture.
He lasted six seconds, after which he said:
"It is way worse than I thought it would be, and that’s no joke,"Mancow said, likening it to a time when he nearly drowned as a child. "It is such an odd feeling to have water poured down your nose with your head back…It was instantaneous…and I don’t want to say this: absolutely torture."
Christopher Hitchens apparently had earlier done the same thing and commented:
"Well, then, if waterboarding does not constitute torture, then there is no such thing as torture,"
Although I’m sure there is a sadistic few, I have to wonder how popular this practice would be if anyone that called for its use had to be subjected to it.
