Waterboarding

Posted in Uncategorized by chamblee54 on February 12, 2010


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.
