Christopher Hitchens Gets Waterboarded

[crocofish]

Christopher Hitchens, well known antitheist writer, subjected himself to waterboarding to experience first hand whether waterboarding is torture or not.  He wrote an article about his experience called Believe Me, It’s Torture.  There is also a video.  I admire Hitchens for experiencing waterboarding instead of just making third hand opinions about it.

Now if we could just get Fox News journalists to experience it.  I'd personally like to see Bill O'Reilly waterboarded.

I'd now like him to finally admit that there are no WMDs in Iraq. He makes me embarrassed whenever he says that.

Sometimes Hitchens makes me wince.  He's like a loud opinionated guy you hear ranting in a restaurant, but I guess most political pundits are like that.  He has his own war against religion, and doesn't mind having an excuse to bomb fundamentalist nations.  Hitchens certainly has a different style than Richard Dawkins, who approaches subjects in a more methodical and rational (i.e. scientific) manner.

Hitchen strikes me as the kind of atheist that atheist parents tell their atheist kids not to be like when they grow up.

Agreed.

From what I've been seeing lately, our Government Officials are suffering from high rates of spongiform encephaly - and so are we, as it rolls downhill.

Utterly barking MAD they are.

Here's another little gem - video comparisons demonstrating the rapid cognitive decline of GW.
