    So you guys are telling me that the government is fine when three captured terrorists volunteer for some water-boarding fun in a prison camp, they get to participate any time they want to the point where they got to do it hundreds of times, but when a US citizen tries to do the same thing he, has to jump through all of these legal hoops to do it just once? Is anyone else here seeing the injustice?

    @ChillbearLatrigue: Yes, shocking that local law enforcement declined to participate in something like waterboarding. I can remember when that was part of the tour we got in the fifth grade.

    My big problem with this is that I don't understand why some guy who would have accepted anything--any heinous abomination dredged from the deepest recesses of human depravity--in the name of "fightin' the war on terr'r," suddenly, when people are beginning to really express their anger of that administration's excesses, suddenly has a come to Jesus moment about something your average person already knows--that drowning someone fits any sane person's definition of torture. So what? Sausage fingered misanthrope Chris Hitchens came to the same startling revelation a year ago (killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians to take out an annoying despot still apparently a-okay).


    I simply refuse to care what this guy thinks about anything--whether he's joined the rest of his humanity in having a minimum standard of decency by which we all agree to act or not. He should have never been asked on Olbermann--his opinion ceased to matter years ago.

    Why does Gawker still care about this story? No one else on the planet does. Waterboarding is torture. This stunt, whether the guy "faked" it or not, is irrelevant.

    @7states:


    Thanks for telling me I don't care about this story. Otherwise, I would have cared.
    On second thought, I still care.

    I don't know why you guys are so obsessed about this whole thing. I live in Chicago and I can tell you that nobody cares here.

    I don't think the story is really about Chicago per se.
