Waterboarding....

Feel free to talk about anything that you want.

Waterboarding....

Postby Cap » Sun Sep 19, 2010 10:41 am

We've recently been hearing a lot about the torture technique called 'waterboarding' that has been used by CIA agents and other groups.
I had no idea of what it actually entailed.

Christopher Hitchens agreed to be waterboarded for journalistic purposes.
this might be a little disturbing to some viewers but it'll give you a pretty good idea of what its all about, and his own personal testimony sheds a lot of light.

Grim viewing. He should have used his brother, Peter, for the experiment!

Apologies, this was covered 2 years ago by O!!
Sorry I missed that. :lol:
What made me research it is Stephen King's 'under the dome' which I'm currently reading. There's a part about waterboarding, but I was clueless as to what he was talking about in the book!

Joking apart, have peeps read Hitchen's "Cyprus: Hostage to History". Thought it was pretty good myself.

I would've hooked you in the jaw if I could reach out through this PC. lol

Aliens?? Ah, come on Mr King! FFS, his best books for me are one's where there's at least a debatable chance of reality. Pyrokenisis, Telekenisis, Massive rabid St Bernards, coronary after kicking your husband in the balls tied to a bed with real handcuffs during a kinky sex game in a cabin in the middle of nowhere... etc etc. But aliens?
