Hitchens undergoes "waterboarding"

Though I completely agree with you that the President of this country absolutely lied when he claimed that "America doesn't torture", and he should be held criminally liable in court, I don't agree that this exercise was useless. Due to the fact that this country is filled with many a$$holes and idiots, it's never a bad idea for a writer who is somewhat conservative to go through this process and relay his experiences. If he can convince just a few people that we DID infact torture prisoners, then it will have been worth it!
