"All of it is now, after one revelation last week, transparently clear for what it is: the pathetic and desperate manipulation of the government, the refocusing of our entire nation, toward keeping this mock president and this unstable vice president and this departed wildly self-overrating attorney general, and the others, from potential prosecution for having approved or ordered the illegal torture of prisoners being held in the name of this country....
Charged, as you heard in the story from ABC News last Friday, with assessing the relative legality of the various nightmares in the Pandora's box that is the Orwell-worthy euphemism "Enhanced Interrogation," Mr. Levin decided that the simplest, and the most honest, way to evaluate them ... was to have them enacted upon himself.
Daniel Levin took himself to a military base and let himself be waterboarded.
Mr. Bush, ever done anything that personally courageous?"
Here is David Levin's video of the experience. Looks like the sort of thing a bunch of Administration officials ought to enjoy.... Or am I using my outside voice again....?

Professional interrogators who've worked for decades will tell you that any form of torture just produces bad information. This may be a little boarderline to some people, but we've taken razor blades to the testicles of certain high value prisoners. Ironically now that we've done it, we don't want to take them to trial for things we can prove they've done cuz we don't want their torture techniques leaked to the American public.
Afraid you're shouting? Personally no one is shouting loudly enough!
