Talk Radio Host Gets Waterboarded
He's no Christopher Hitchens, but shock jock Erich 'Mancow' Muller became the latest semi-celeb Friday to undergo waterboarding... and say it's torture.

New Rule: If you go on TV and state controlled drowning is not torture then you must undergo controlled drowning and prove it.

Someone needs to ask Dick Cheney or his snotty nose kid if it's dangerous for a former VP of the US to announce to the world that torture works.

How dangerous is that Mr./Ms. Cheney.

What type of precedent does that set.

Waterboarding is torture. Cheney(s) should be waterboarded to test this theory...along with the slimey little guy on Fox news.....

Sometimes one is lost for words. What else do they want? what do they need? To just understand that, it is not about the good versus the bad guys. It is not about whether to keep this country safe or not. It is not about ignorance on the other side. It is not about looking aggressive in defending this nation or looking weak on defense. It is about the rule of law. Period. Just the RULE of LAW. PERIOD!!!

When will they ever understand?

When have CRIMINALS ever understood anything about the RULE OF LAW except for way to break it in ways that benefits them and them only. Case and Point: Liz & Dick Cheney!

AND THE SAD THING ABOUT IT IS...NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT...NO ONE!

Next up - Rush.

After him, Sean Hannity.

Then Liz Cheney.

Then Donald Rumsfield

Then Condi Rice.

Then G.W.

Finally, Chicken Hawk Cheney.

And do it to him over 200 times.

If he manages to live or not go insane, then ask him if it's torture.

Then this nonsense ends.

Forever hopefully.

I agree with the other comments. Let's see Cheney and Rush do this.

It is supposed to be unpleasant! Why would someone give up information if it wasn't?

The is no permanent damage to the person. How can you not see the difference between this and yanking fingernails or smashing fingers with a hammer?

Would I like it done to me? Of course not, but it is done to U.S. soldiers during SERE training. Nobody is injured.
