I found this at Wonkette. Their comment: This is easily the funniest and most satisfying thing ever on cable television.

Disturbing comments from the Correspondent: "As far as Torture goes, at least in this controlled experiment, it seemed pretty efficient to me . . ."

4. Who can see that, imagine it being done on someone who doesn't know
what's up, who doesn't know it will END and NOT say that's TORTURE?

It's absurd that it's even up for debate.

5. Yeah, right. "Efficient"
Somehow I think the "interrogators" don't "tap out" quite as quickly and easily as these guys did. These Faux News reporters are just plain ass-holes.

7. Can We Do It To Ann Coulter Next?
If we can waterboard one Faux News person, why not them all?

8. there's a guy on Current who used to be spec ops
who apparently had to endure this for training, and did this is in a far more realistic setting for current, and came to vastly different conclusions.

Goddamn i hate fox. so glad i don't have tv anymore.

9. Did you all notice that he called it Torture?
Just stating the obvious, or so I thought.

14. Yup - that's part of the goal - to desensitize people to the word "torture"...
...the thinking being that if a Fox News Reporter can go through torture, maybe it isn't so bad.

11. Nice - more "conditioning" for the masses to become desensitized to torture.
This is fucking sick - torture is NOT funny when you know that they CAN KILL YOU anytime they want.

This reporter knows he's safe so they main psychological component of shear fucking terror from death isn't there. So technically speaking - this isn't "real" waterboarding.

13. Just a dunk in the water! It's a no-brainer!
Every time the news correspondent propagandist sat up, the guys in the black masks eased off & let him gain his bearings. Considering the pictures we've seen of Abu Ghraib of the extent of dehumanized treatment going on, I can only imagine how different the actual torture is compared to this softball demonstration.

15. When I was a kid, my fat sister sat on my head and I thought I was
going to die, because it took forever to free myself (she's insanely cruel). I thought of that watching this video. That was torture.

16. So that's what college pranks and letting off a little steam look like.
