I don't see why not, not that it's a legal form of interrogation/punishment.

Hell, Ceney, Rummy and Newt as well!

God, on days like this I'm ashamed to be an American.

1. He'd scream like a baby within seconds.

All of them would. But it seems to me that if, as they claim, waterboarding merely causes momentary discomfort, then what's wrong with asking anyone who advocates it to experience it? -- just to prove to us all that it really isn't so bad.

2. In the old days, it was called "ducking" or "dunking"
and in the colonies, it was often used to get women to "confess" they were witches

3. No. Our standards haven't changed.
Do not post messages that could be construed as advocating harm or death to the president or other high-ranking official in the United States government. In the case of the president, do not even post jokes, as the Secret Service is not known for its sense of humor.
