Christopher Hitchens Waterboarded

Christopher Hitchens consented to be a guinea pig for a waterboarding demonstration and the results were captured in this Vanity Fair video. Sadism knows no bounds in the Bush administration.

Hmm, I'm a bit unclear on how the water soaks and chokes. Seems like a regular hood and without any audible choking/gasping noises from the guy, his motion to stop the test came as a bit of a surprise. As anyone whose spent significant time in the water will attest to, the drowning feeling is terrible.
