WELL DUH!!!!!!!!!... :roll: Not the brightest bulb on the stringer.

Eric Mancow wanted to get himself waterboarded for the purpose of proving that waterboarding isn't torture. The result?

"The average person can take this for 14 seconds," Marine Sergeant Clay South answered, adding, "He's going to wiggle, he's going to scream, he's going to wish he never did this."

With a Chicago Fire Department paramedic on hand, Mancow was placed on a 7-foot long table, his legs were elevated, and his feet were tied up.

Turns out the stunt wasn't so funny. Witnesses said Muller thrashed on the table, and even instantly threw the toy cow he was holding as his emergency tool to signify when he wanted the experiment to stop. He only lasted 6 or 7 seconds.
*

"It is way worse than I thought it would be, and that's no joke,"Mancow said, likening it to a time when he nearly drowned as a child. "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 didn't find that video, Fritz ... but came across http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfYov5o5_2s&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ehuffingtonpost%2Ecom%2F2009%2F05%2F26%2Fformer%2Dinterrogator%2Drebuk%5Fn%5F207483%2Ehtml&feature=player_embedded on HuffPost today. Cheney should be prosecuted, no doubt about it. How much clearer can it BE that he is an arrogant, torturing, murdering SOB ... as he blatently attempts to defend his outright violation of the Geneva Convention and American law?

Our President and Congress are spineless. Where are the defenders of the Constitution (which states we are to be bound by all treaties and agreements made with foreign countries) and the rule of law? They're not in Washington, I'll tell you that much.
