So the short of it is this: this idiot conservative radio host from Chicago tries to be a smartarse and undergoes 'water-boarding' to proove it is a legitimate tool against 'terrorists'

(from wiki: Waterboarding is a form of torture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture) that consists of immobilizing the victim on his or her back with the head inclined downwards, and then pouring water over the face and into the breathing passages, causing the captive to believe he is dying.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterboarding#cite_note-0) By forced suffocation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffocation) and inhalation of water, the subject experiences the sensation of drowning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drowning))

It takes the moron just 6 seconds to conclude he was wrong. :/

This is a bit old. Here is the video:

I would have to rely on the 8th rule of a wanna be intellectual and say this is... ooooooolllld.

[Stranger Than Paradise]

What a complete idiot. If it wasn't torture what would be the point of it? What did he think they used it for? And I love how he says the average person lasts 14 seconds and he lasted six.

Oopsie, thought it was new.

When me and my cousin was about 14-15 years of age, we used to do that with my cousin's siblings XD

I like Mancow. He's honest. Sure, he was stupid for believing that waterboarding wasn't torture, but he was honest enough to put his money where his mouth is and not only actually went through with this, but also changed his mind when he was wrong. That's a rare quality in anyone regarding political issues.

Agreed. For a conservatist he has exceeded his seemingly low expectations and advanced to apprenticeship of loonery.

Didn't Hypocritchens undergo the same ordeal?

Is it wrong that I laughed at the video? Torture isn't usually my idea of entertainment. :huh:

What an idiot, though. The fact that he thought waterboarding would be like going swimming is insane, and then afterwards how he said that it was nothing like swimming. Well thanks for clearing that up! I get swimming and torture confused all of the time! I do, however, love the fact that he changed his mind. It's always nice when someone is able to be flexible with their opinions, so good for him I suppose.

Still waiting for Sean Hannity to get waterboarded, he still has not maned up to it.

[Rjevan]

I'm also quite impressed that he dares to actually proove his opinion this way and that he's fair enough to admit that it's much worse than he ever thought and that it's "absolutely torture!" At least he's honest and I'm sure none of the politicians who claim that waterboarding is no torture would ever even consider doing this.

Who's that, Hitchens? Why did he do it?

[The Ungovernable Farce]

Why does Hitchens do anything? I could believe he also wanted to prove it wasn't so bad. His article about it is here (http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2008/08/hitchens200808), anyway.
