Amazing. Christopher Hitchens decided to stop carrying water for the Bush administration and actually allowed himself to be waterboarded.
He rehearses the intellectual arguments, both for ("It's nothing compared to what they do to us") and against ("It opens a door that can't be closed"). But the Hitch's thoroughly empirical conclusion is simple. As Vanity Fair's title puts it: "Believe me, it's torture."
(Emphasis added.)
Now if only we can get ourselves together enough to get the GOP out of the White House and try and clean up some of the mess this administration has left us.
