Waterboard a journalist?

You know what I'd like to see? One journalist with the balls to have themselves waterboarded on national television. Our tax dollars are paying to have this done, so let's give the American people a look at the procedure!

And it would be a guaranteed ratings smash.

Salon letter

I just posted this as a letter over at Salon, as well. Who knows; maybe some journalist will read it.

Hmm, curious what prompted this. :)

I'm not sure I've heard of any newsperson (not counting pundits) saying that torture is okay, although to be sure I don't have Fox News. Maybe more appropriate would be one of the folk who have doing this stuff; after all, officers who use tasers get tasered so as to understand what happens (I think, uhh, at least sometimes).
