Why aren't those that approve or perform waterboarding waterboarded first
People in the position to use mace and pepper spray are often sprayed so they will know what their "victim" is going through. They also taser a volunteer so others can see what it does and have first hand testimony about what it was like. So why not set up a table in congress so they can at least see what it's like - maybe those up for the attorney generals position should take a turn if they don't think it's torture?

2. Totally agreed.
If torture is 'no worse than the average college hazing', let's get those government frat boys out to show us how it's done ...

7. Been saying this for years. ITA. Start with Cheney, Bush, and Rummy.
Then Limbaugh, Rice, Hannity, and any other Republican you can find.
