Waterboarding

Want to see waterboarding in action? Current TV producer Kaj Larsen, a veteran who has experience being waterboarded as part of military survival training, shows how its done on YouTube.

Larson’s tormenter explains at the start how the typical victim breaks within two minutes. Larson’s been waterboarded before. He knows how it feels, he knows he’s being filmed, and he knows he won’t drown. None of this helps him. Larson still breaks after 24 minutes. And he says its just as horrible the second time as it was the first.

Does this make you proud to be an American?
