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.

I'm not sure what this post means. Others have done it, we can do it too? If not, please clarify. | ||

If your country tortures people it deserves to be criticized. Its not part of some global conspiracy to hate on the US. I think its pathetic that anyone would try and excuse it away like that | ||

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 | ||

With the technique so easy to do and videos readily available on youtube I'm expecting to hear about some poor suburban kid getting waterboarded by his classmates in the near future | ||

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? | ||
