Unfortunately its still nothing compared to what most powerful nations have done in the past 50 or so years, and for which they take no responsibility themselves. So, very rich to criticize the US. | ||

Way to stick your own foot down your throat. Ah, you must not know much about Hannity. He has made a living on hypocrisy and contradictions to put it mildly.

Yeah he says that in the second video. It isn't 'simulating' drowning but rather it IS drowning (bit of an exaggeration maybe). Sometimes you need extreme measures to prove to someone that they are wrong XD | ||

If the democrats have a majority, maybe they could vote to have every member of congress waterboarded once. And are there any contrary waterboarding experience videos? | ||
