Waterboarding:Conservative talk radio host Enrich "Muller" Mancow waterboarded, says its torture, do you agree?

Question

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/22/mancow-waterboarded-video_n_206906.html

Erich "Mancow" Muller, a Chicago-based conservative radio host, recently decided to silence critics of waterboarding once and for all. He would undergo the procedure himself, and then he would be able to confidently convince others that it is not, in fact, torture.

Or so he thought. Instead, Muller came out convinced.

"It is way worse than I thought it would be, and that's no joke," Mancow said. "It is such an odd feeling to have water poured down your nose with your head back... It was instantaneous... and I don't want to say this: absolutely torture."

"I wanted to prove it wasn't torture," Mancow said. "They cut off our heads, we put water on their face... I got voted to do this but I really thought 'I'm going to laugh this off.' "

Mancow, Hitchens, and Venture have been waterboarded and say its torture.

Well "Mancow" says it's torture so....

Really? Reeaallly?

Yeah it's torture. But are there not different degrees of torture?? I think thats what the argument is really about.

Depriving Mancow of chocolate for a week would also be torture. As would many things according to a fat talkshow host used to a comphy life behind a mic.

I don't know how anyone could think it wasn't torture.  It causes an immediate gag reflex and often causes lung and brain damage.

People that think it isn't are likely the type that have a preconceived notion about things,  and if something strays from that notion, they can''t fathom it.  In other words, very narrow minded.

I've never been water-boarded so I have no first hand experience, but from what I keep hearing others say, yes it's torture.

Most people who have experienced it says it is torture.
Just like most people who have lived on the streets feel there should be some help for the poor.

If you notice, right-wingers tend to think they are experts on everything despite never having studied the idea or experienced it.

Sean Hannity and Dick Cheney still don't. I guess that's all that matters.
