Waterboarding. A fun summer past time, great for the whole family? No. Absolutely not. Waterboarding involves strapping a person down and pouring water over his/her cloth-covered face to create the sensation of drowning. It has been traced back hundreds of years to the Spanish Inquisition and is condemned by nations around the world and human rights organizations as torture. A bill attempting to ban this torture has been vetoed by good ol’ GWB. In absolutely failed logic, GWB’s argument is that the use of waterboarding has prevented attacks. First off, waterboarding has been allowed thus far and there have been terrorist attacks. Second, if you have a prisoner to waterboard in the first place, then he/she is clearly already in custody and isn’t a threat. Maybe George really thought they were trying to clamp down on the fun at Darien Lake!!!
