I didn’t realize waterboarding was a laughing matter ha-ha. How about we waterboard Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck? Oh what fun. *sarc*
Waterboarding has always been a laughing matter. Some folks picked up on it as this terribly fun thing they were going to defend, more as a matter of college pranksterism than because they supported torture as an interrogation technique.
This, of course, led to the hilarious proposition that waterboarding was absolutely nothing, just ‘pouring water on’ someone, they do it in SERE training to make the guys’ coats shiny, but at the same time, it magically gets all the information you want, like THAT.
