CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS GETS WATERBOARDED. (Via TDC).

UPDATE: Ann Althouse: “Hitchens concludes: ‘[I]f waterboarding does not constitute torture, then there is no such thing as torture.’ But if Hitchens is willing to submit to it as an experiment, it can’t be the worst torture. We can easily think of many tortures that he would not have accepted for journalistic purposes and that no one friendly to him would have perpetrated.”

Yes, nobody has their toenails pulled out with red-hot pincers so they can write about it. But what, exactly, does that tell us?
