You believe Geithner was aware of in any way that the general public wasn't of the waterboarding of these prisoners? What exactly do you think the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York does? Other than simply using waterboarding as punishment (though it would apparently be for pursuing policies you find disagreeable), on what basis could Geithner be on any list of people to be considered for it?
That said, I'm in favor of any and all of our politicians who are healthy enough for it volunteering to experience waterboarding. Then maybe we'll avoid such moral failure in the future.
