Waterboarding Video Shown On Keith Olbermann's Countdown

If you know of a web source for the video of a water-boarding demonstration shown on Countdown tonight, please post it here. Personally, I found it sickening and compelling, and I think it should be spread around for all to see.

Thanks.

4. Our torturing this man in this way sickened and horrified me

And W dares call himself a Xtian? I challenge any Christian to witness that torture and say it's being done by a Xtian nation.

I've seen pics of Christ with tears flowing before. He certainly would cry over this torture by our country.

Not in my name!

8. KO showed a clip from

a guy named Kaj Larsen who subjected himself to waterboarding (that's him in the video) in order to be better able to report on it. It is and is not an actual waterboarding. It is insofar as it shows the actual technique and it is not insofar as Kaj was able to stop the torture any time he wanted. Watch the vid but it is as unsettling as it is informative.

9. Those evil men need to be water-boarded, let's see

if they decide it's torture then.

I was raised "Do unto others as...". No one should authorize such a thing unless willing to undergo it themselves first.

Heinous.

10. "Suspects" need to be tortured.

There is no legal recourse.

That's the outrage as much as torture.

11. This becomes more unbearable each day. I am

only viewing to be a witness to the atrocities. We must remember when they try to wipe the records.

Fallujah and Abu Grahib were the hardest.

12. Found it.

I found a copy of the waterboarding video. It's a lot longer than what was actually shown on Countdown this evening:
