2. reality

OK, only 14 times more today to reach what really happens. Saying we don't torture people is like saying a sanitation engineer is not a trash man.

3. It wasn't all that realistic
He wasn't being screamed at or hit nor did it last very long.

Let me waterboard him and see how he likes it.

4. I love that he hasn't learned anything by the end.
It was bad, but apparently not bad enough for him to think this is something the U.S. government shouldn't do to people.

I'll give these right-wing idiots one thing: they stick to their guns.

6. and completely ignore the fact that people have DIED
from waterboarding in southeast Asia, where it was one of the favorite methods to abuse people.

Notice I didn't say "interrogate." Research HAS been done and has concluded that information obtained this way is totally unreliable.

People torture and other people approve of it because they LIKE hurting people.

5. Wonder if faux news will demonstrate a hanging next week????
Also, the 'efficiency expert' in the picture below the 'water-boarding frame' would be a great asset to the WH.

7. Do you know what would have been great?
If they said ,"And now for phase Four!" and suddenly tied him down for real as they tore off a fresh sheet of plastic, then peeled off their black masks to reveal that the interrogators were Keith O, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert!

Imagine how terrified a Faux reporter would be with those three standing over him!

8. He says, "Not that bad."
Yeah, when you get to tap out and say your "safe word" to get them to stop. Better scenario for FOX correspondent: Have the torturers waterboard him until he exhibits real intelligence; don't stop until he proves he's got a brain. I'd watch that five-hour clip, which would end with the torturers giving up in frustration.
