There’s lots of discussion about the use of waterboarding to extract information from terrorists or other enemy combatants. Through all of the discussion, do you know what it is? What actually occurs when you’re being waterboarded?
Here’s a video I found in a post at Huffington Post about the controversial act. Mike Guy, a journalist for Playboy, decided to see for himself what all the hubbub was about. He guessed he could last 15 seconds without any problems.
"Invoking an existing fear". What do you think? I think I agree with the soldier, I’m not sure if it’s "torture", I’m sure it’s emotionally and mentally intense, but I agree that I think real "torture" involves physical wounds or pain.
Who’d have thought Playboy would deliver journalism like this, that no other major media outlet would have asked this question. At least not that I know of, do you?
