From http://www.vf.com. How does it feel to be "aggressively interrogated"? Christopher Hitchens found out for himself, submitting to a brutal waterboarding session in an effort to understand the human cost of America's use of harsh tactics at Guantánamo and elsewhere. VF.com has the footage. Related: "Believe Me, It's Torture," from the August 2008 issue, http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2008/08/hitchens200808 Interview conducted by David Rose and filmed by Arya Surowidjojo.

Jan 3, 2009 - ...? is there a point there?
Nowekian Says:
Jan 3, 2009 - just... wow.
flyingscience Says:
Jan 3, 2009 - Nowekian - the point is that the lib. doves are dead set against torture of terrorist war prisoners .Yet there is no better way to get them to talk and fast to save lives.
flyingscience Says:
Jan 3, 2009 - Old way-nails torn off & cigarettes burns .Water is more humane and its coughed out .Works fast - not a scratch afterwards .
NerdPoetica Says:
Jan 3, 2009 - Anybody know what that song is being played in the beginning?
drubber1234 Says:
Jan 4, 2009 - I'll say it again: Hitchens is a wimp! I would have lasted at least -- AT LEAST -- 5 hours.
RamenOps Says:
Jan 5, 2009 - Waterboarding can leave severe psychological damage from the sensation of effectively drowning, and even physical damage from lack of oxygen. Have you ever experienced drowning? It's hardly "humane".
RamenOps Says:
Jan 5, 2009 - No, I don't think physical fitness would have much noticeable effect on the tolerance of one's airway.
flyingscience Says:
Jan 5, 2009 - Weatherboarding is probably the least harmful of torture methods .I dont think there are any nice ways to get the terrorists to confess quickly .
flyingscience Says:
Jan 5, 2009 - Fighting guerrilla terrorism necessitates prying bomb codes ,locations, sleeper cells and poison caches quickly .Torture-saves lives.

Jan 5, 2009 - your a fucking idiot ... you obviously wouldn't last anything close to 5 hours. The Average amount of time people can tolerate this form of torture is 14 seconds you fucking twat. Stop trying to cock measure in the internet. and stop trying to be a bad-ass you would be fucked if anyone did this to you.
drubber1234 Says:
Jan 5, 2009 - Let me rewrite what you so everyone can understand: "You're a fucking idiot . . . you (obviously) wouldn't last anything close to 5 hours. The average amount of time people can tolerate this form of torture is 14 seconds, you fucking twat. Stop trying to cock measure on the internets. And stop trying to be a bad-ass. You would be fucked if anyone did this to you." There, that's better! And I change my mind. I can actually last at least 6 hours!!!!!!!!
redtortoise76 Says:
Jan 6, 2009 - @flyingscience, when you say "Weatherboarding is probably the least harmful of torture methods" are you referring to the practice of tying someone to a board and exposing them to the weather?
redtortoise76 Says:
Jan 6, 2009 - Drubber your claim of resisting waterboarding for five hours is based on nothing but speculation and quite a lot of stupidity.
drubber1234 Says:
Jan 6, 2009 - I know, which is why I revised the figure and now claim I can last at least 6 hours, which is a more realistic estimate.
flyingscience Says:
Jan 6, 2009 - Whose torture methods would you prefer the USA's or Islamic extremists ? Unless you can think of a better way to extract information it will be around.
redtortoise76 Says:
Jan 6, 2009 - drubber1234 In order to be taken seriously you need evidence to support your claim. Post a video of yourself being waterboarded for six hours. Thank you.
Beanieman54 Says:
Jan 6, 2009 - well i just got waterboarded and fuck everyone who says its easy.
johntuohy Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - I wonder why we have never seen Jack Bauer employ these tactics, there's been so many occasions he is pressed for time and needs answers, this would be the perfect solution. So easy to perform, I just had to try it on my little sister.
drubber1234 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - I don't know what amuses me more. That people are actually dignifying what I claim with attention, or that they think I'm serious! LOL I always hear atheists claiming to be more intelligent than religious types. You're not too bright redtortoise. Just sayin' . . .
redtortoise76 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - drubber you assume much.Of course I was using subtle humor but I guess I was giving you too much credit. But then again this sarcasm thing is not that easy to spot from text alone so I'll give you that. Either way you're still a douche. Have a nice day.
drubber1234 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - I love you.
drubber1234 Says:
Jan 7, 2009 - I still think Hitchens is a wimp. I couldn't last 5 hours, but I could sure as hell last longer than that bloated bullfrog did.
