Just Noting
There is more written on the tubes about Bush era war crimes, aka torture, than I could link to in a weekend full of blogging. Sullivan has been on top of it for years so if you wan to brush up on it follow the link over to the right. But any time anyone tries to argue that torture works I'll be asking, "Where is Osama Bin Laden?" We waterboarded Khalid Sheik Mohammed 183 times in a single month and nothing. That's the level of effectiveness they're arguing for.

Speaking of torture...last night Iwanski and I watched a clip on youtube of Christopher Hitchens getting water-boarded--by his own choice, of course. He lasted all of 10 seconds (if that) before he stopped it. He said that people need to stop saying that it's "simulated drowning"--because it IS, in fact, DROWNING. It was horrible to watch. Whoever says it's not torture is a complete asshole moron.
Also, torture DOES NOT WORK. I hate it when people act like it does.
