It's absolutely torture

[rumorsofwar.livejournal.com]

You've got to hand it to conservative shock jock Mancow. He's got the balls to put his money where his mouth is, unlike a certain squealy-voiced loud-mouth to whom I will anonymously refer as "Inannity".

Basically Mancow just volunteered to be waterboarded, because, hey, it's not like it's torture or anything! How long would you guess he lasted? A minute? Thirty seconds? Fourteen seconds? Try six seconds. It took him a tenth of a minute to leap up and declare that it was torture.

Video of the incident and Mancow's own admission that waterboarding is, in fact, torture behind the cut:

Actually that says that you can torture as a punishment, but not as a means of interrogation. So backwards regimes everywhere can chop off theives' hands.

"punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed" - you cannot punish too (if it is not lawful).

Right. So it's just a massive loophole then. Yay for toothless international agreements.

Or it is not an agreement about what you thought it was.
