Hitchens Waterboarded

Christopher Hitchens volunteered to be waterboarded. The video is on Vanity Fair. Hitchens states clearly what he briefly endured was torture. This is coming from a strong supporter of the Iraq war.

Hitchens wonders what happens to men that have no vital information? Do these innocent men lose their minds from the outslaught of torture? Dick Cheney thinks waterboarding is nothing more than a dunk "dunk in water."

Hennen asked, "Would you agree that a dunk in water is a no-brainer if it can save lives?" Cheney replied, "It's a no-brainer for me, but for a while there, I was criticized as being the vice president 'for torture.'"

And deservingly so.
