Waterboarding
There has been talk about torture recently. It is usually just that, talk. Somehow, talk does not have the same impact as pictures.
Andrew Sullivan has had a few things to say about torture, in the “war on terror”. Today, he offered the picture at the top of this post. It is ” a Khmer Rouge waterboarding technique from Cambodia’s Museum of Torture, showing exactly the CIA technique of pouring water over a cloth onto someone’s face to induce near-suffocation repeatedly”. This is antiseptically called waterboarding. Some say it is not torture.
