Example of Torture

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.

Thanx to The Hitchens Zone

    The guys were talking about going to bouts of 15 minutes, followed by 30 minutes after that, and I don’t think he actually lasted a minute (not that I blame him).

    And this is currently justified in the US system? The last comment he said, “what if they have the wrong guy”, is just an appalling thought.

    I wouldn’t say it’s justified in the US system but in Guantanamo only, seems they have their own set of rules in that place. Horrible if you ask me.
