It’s Not Torture, If You’d Have It Done To Yourself on Purpose.

July 2, 2008 by Joe 

I actually like Christopher Hitchens, oftentimes I agree with a lot of what he writes about, except his views on atheism and such. But, with his most recent article for Vanity Fair, I have to call bullshit on Mr. Hitchens.

Christopher Hitchens had the act of water boarding performed on him, so he could write an article describing its effects and deciding whether or not it was torture.

You can read the article here.

As for my thoughts, if a 59-year old man willingly has the procedure done to him, for the purposes of writing an article for Vanity Fair magazine — then America needs to step up the techniques it uses to gain information from our enemies, because water boarding obviously isn’t tough enough.
