I'd Rather be Waterboarding

Regarding the stunt by Christopher Hitchens for his Vanity Fair article: I watched the video. Waterboarding looked a lot less horrible than I had expected. I'm sure the sensation of drowning and the fear for one's wellbeing is real. I go with what this guy said: Torture is any experience so horrible that no-one would consider trying it out simply for the purpose of writing a Vanity Fair article about what it’s like.
