First off... it doesn't make someone a liar because they can't prove something to somebody over the internet. If I came to your house with a bucket of water and a hose I could prove it to you in say 6 seconds.
Secondly... the proof is one of general everyday knowledge and common sense. Everyone knows water suffocation (drowning) is painful. All waterboarding is... is force feeding drowning.
Now come on... I know your not bent toward being reasonable but drowning does hurt. It's like arguing that if you grow really long fingernails and then jam them in an electrical outlet it really won't hurt a lot. Common sense my friend... just good old fashion common sense.
And I've already posted several pieces now where people that have went through it say it was so bad they could only stand it for like 6 seconds. Multiple that by a lot of time per dose and then times that by some over 130 secissions. Come on buddy think...
Well what was i thinking? I mean he's only an ex-Navy Seal that's been waterboarded in training... you are obviously more knowledgeable... NOT!
Navy SEAL Jesse Ventura volunteers to waterboard Cheney.
One of the most repeated lines from conservatives in the debate over interrogations is that waterboarding is not torture because it is performed on U.S. troops as part of training. Yesterday on CNN’s Larry King Live, former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura — a former Navy SEAL who has been waterboarded — poured cold water on this talking point, saying that waterboarding is in fact “drowning.” Ventura said he could waterboard Vice President Cheney and get him to admit to anything:
KING: You were a Navy SEAL.
VENTURA: That’s right. I was water boarded, so I know — at SERE School, Survival Escape Resistance Evasion. It was a required school you had to go to prior to going into the combat zone, which in my era was Vietnam. All of us had to go there. We were all, in essence — every one of us was water boarded. It is torture.
KING: What was it like?
VENTURA: It’s drowning. It gives you the complete sensation that you are drowning. It is no good, because you — I’ll put it to you this way, you give me a water board, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I’ll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders.
