How does it feel to be “aggressively interrogated”? Christopher Hitchens found out for himself, submitting to a brutal waterboarding session in an effort to understand the human cost of America’s use of harsh tactics at Guantánamo and elsewhere.

It can't be any worse than listening to the stupid illogic of the liberal mind.

I think we should do water boarding to gang members, drug dealers, pedofiles, thieves and other repeat hard-core criminals.

no no no between the Japanese, south americans, and some native american tribes there are torture skills from 100's of years of old but very affective torture.

waterboarding has its place but pharmaintel cathering is way better.

Scopalamine being a basic outdated example

Hmmm, I guess we should give them cookies and milk until they barf and keep them up past their bedtimes. Then they'll spill their guts.

We should just send all the libs over to Iraq and kick them out into the streets so they can befriend these radical islamists they care so much about. Maybe they can make friends with them before they get their heads cut off.

True. Let's try it on Goober Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfelt and then let them tell us what it was like.

Hmmm. This sounds like a good idea. I can think of a lot more media, journalistic and entertaiment personalities that could use a good waterboarding. This could make a great reality TV series!:)

Seems like you have a very open minded attitude towards this Joe! Nice to see you want to throw out everyone who opposes your viewpoint! Perhaps you could consider people cared about our soldiers as well, or maybe that's out of your comprehension.

Yeah pile on the racism (pun intended haha)... not everyone in OZ is an idiot - as the dude your replying to clearly is... US and OZ are two of the most sane countries on the planet - let's keep it that way. No need to resort to this - you both suck.

The BIG difference that Christopher Hitchens had over the true victims of this torture is that he was able to signal to his tormentors when to stop.
Hitchens is a jackass who is really just another shill for the Zionist cause(he's half Jewish)
