Waterboarding for fun and politics

Posted November 7th, 2007 at 5:39 PM by Jon Ham

As Bryan at HotAir said yesterday, if waterboarding is torture why is everybody doing it? Here’s the latest on a lefty re-enactment. Imagine if they were pulling fingernails out and compare it to this street theater. There’s making someone very uncomfortable, and then there’s torture. They aren’t the same thing, much as many would try to conflate the two.

    Hal, your link didn’t work so it wasn’t until this morning that I realized what you were talking about.
