Waterboarding Experiment
Let's say such an experiment were planned to, in effect, force the hand of waterboarding defenders. What would be the parameters and conditions?

1. Why not have members of the SERE do it as a demonstration?
I think once someone sees it in person that even with a willing participant and a waterboard 'administor' that does not mean lethal harm, it will horrify the watchers. Do it the same way the military that go through SERE have it done to them.

Just watching the video of that reporter who volunteered to be waterboarded freaked me out.

4. You are forgetting we are dealing with psychopaths. They do not have any empathy for others.
I fact they may even get off on watching.

5. So let them do it on Hannity since he already volunteered And Olbermann is williing to pay
$$ to a charity to see it done. Or do it to any of the ones Orrex lists.

2. That's a good idea. Have a SERE graduate conduct the experiment. nt.

3. Perform the technique on one of its supporters, like Limbaugh or Hannity
But state at the outset that they'll be executed if they can't take 20 consecutive seconds of it.
