waterboarding

Hat tip to Chris Black for pointing us to this tale of someone trying out "waterboarding" on themselves to see if they think it really is torture. Of course it could all be a total lie - out here in cyberland you never can tell. And it could, presumably, have ended up in a Darwin award before the guy to to write his experiences up. But it all sounds pretty convincing evidence of behaviour by an ally that we should be prosecuting under international protocols against torture if we can't get them to give it up voluntarily.
