I think that much of the confusion surrounding this issue is that the name they chose makes it sound fun. Hey, kids - let's go waterboarding! It almost sounds like a Vans Warped tour side stage activity, sponsored by Mountain Dew.

Therefore, since it sounds like a hoot, I'm having trouble finding fault with it.
Now if they called it water torture, well, that has a whole different ring to it.

Semantics aside, I do think that there is a time and a place for everything.
If someone kidnaped a child or a thermo-nuclear device and is holding out on the 411, then I say, by all means, take them out for a nice day of water boarding.

Personally, they would have gotten more mileage out of a Nickelodeon-themed Sheik dunk tank with an American Idol phone-in remote dunk feature, but that's just my opinion.

And while I vehemently disagree with much of this admistration's policy, I also disagree with blanket dismissals of "playing by the rules."

No country - not a single one - follows any kind of rules, save the rule of the bottom line. There is no altruism here. Just protecting the system that gives us fossil fuel, no matter what the cost.

So we are all complicit by virtue of driving and consuming and pursuing leisure.
Excepting the Amish who churn their own butter and ride horsies, and the occasional self-sustaining back-woods off the grid militia.

But, yes...George has been very naughty indeed.
