| As of this morning I have heard from two qualified waterboarders and an EMT. Although just asking to have a doctor present flies in the face of Chetly's argument that waterboarding is just "pouring a little water in someone's face," which to me is an admission of the danger of being waterboarded, I am trying to meet Chetly's requests. The waterboarders and EMT were found through an ad I placed on Craig's List. One of the waterboarders that contacted me gave me specific details of how the waterboarding needs to be performed in order to simulate what happens to detainees. First, the victim needs to be on a teeter-totter device so that he can be upside down. Apparently we do not always use water to do waterboarding. Sometimes we use gasoline or urine. I was also informed that if we do use water, it should be ice cold, not just cold, but just before it freezes cold, so as to induce a panic reaction similiar to jumping into a cold body of water. I do not really expect Chetly to agree to be waterboarded. My goal is that he should admit that a) waterboarding is torture and b) George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and other high officials in the Bush administration are guilty of war crimes.
