It takes a braver man than I shall ever be, to volunteer to be "waterboarded", to see if it really is torture, or not.
This gives the lie to those weasel words "it simulates drowning". It is slow controlled drowning, not a simulation. A nation that does this is as bad as the terrorists.
This is what you need! It's perfect when you want a drink but have to stay working...

Fascinating item on a site called Techwatch...
Complaints about the behaviour of Top Gear presenters are becoming more frequent; this time the complaints were about drinking and driving, well in actual fact drinking while driving.
It was during the “Polar Special” episode of the show when presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May were seen to be drinking gin and tonics while driving a purpose built snow truck to the North Pole.
Although the complaints were upheld by the BBC Trust, the programme makers said that no laws had been broken due to the fact they were being filmed in international waters, where no actual drinking and driving laws exist.
The BBC Trust believe that these antics could give out the wrong message about drinking and driving to younger people, especially as the programme was shown before the watershed.
Frankly, I can't believe that there is any point taking notice of this "BBC Trust", whoever they are. Apart from anything else, it is doubtful that the cretins they are trying to protect even know what a gin and tonic is. If Clarkson had been so tasteless as to drink beer directly from the bottle, our little thugs would have known what was happening. The sight of a G & T, in a glass, perhaps with ice and lemon, would not have registered as a drink. More probably they would have said "Poofter's drink!" and got their knives out...
Eleven people have looked at this item but none of them have put in a bid. What is the world coming to? Am I going to have to hire a skip?
Every so often, somebody suggests that some day soon, we will all be going to work in flying cars. According to The Register, Sir Clive Sinclair is the latest to make this prediction.
Oh, and they will be automatic, as "not everyone can learn to fly". As one who built his own Sinclair Black Watch, and was annoyed to find it used up its batteries in a week, I'm planning to acquire a donkey. They are very fuel efficient.
When I saw this deep pool of sycophantic slurry in the Gruaniad, I knew we were in deep poo.
Blair defends record on tackling climate change - Justin McCurry in Tokyo and Nicholas Watt The Guardian, Saturday June 28, 2008 - Tony Blair admitted yesterday that he could have done more in his decade as prime minister.
He could have done more? What? You mean we didn't have to put up with all that shit, Tone? You mean all those lies about imaginary weapons of mass destruction were just a result of you not being able to do more? What extra huge lies would you have told us if you could have done more, you revolting christian slime?
You can't say turd on the TV, so say Blair.
Unlike the first round, where it took weeks to alter all the wrong votes, this one will be quick, and Mugabe will win with about 350% of the votes. It will, off course be Britain's fault he did not get 500%.
Celine Dion's version of an AC/DC track has been named the world's worst cover song by music professionals.
Here is how awful it is...
Really, really awful, and I notice her audience is almost all girls, which seems a little errm, odd.
Thank goodness she wasn't attempting to do the real song I thought they meant, which was this one played by the wondrous Jeff Beck, which has a singer who later became moderately well known...
That's how it's done...
