MMA Trainer Ed Clay Gets Waterboarded (by GamenessFightCo)

The party gets started around 3 minutes in to the video.

You’ve got to see the last 2 minutes of the video: Clay talks about things that have been waking me up in the middle of the night for decades.

For proponents of waterboarding who were not convinced it is indeed torture by this video:

Here is Christopher Hitchens being waterboarded.

Here is far-right Conservative and proponent of torture, Eric Mancow, being waterboarded and admitting it’s torture.

Here is Kaj Larsen from Current being waterboarded. (This one is especially nasty.)

Here is journalist Sheila Casey, who thinks he can withstand more than 15 seconds of being waterboarded.

Here are the guys of Mythbusters being waterboarded.

Here is former CIA agent Bob Baer discussing torture, claiming Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who was waterboarded 183 times is “almost brain dead.”

Here former FBI Interrogator Jack Cloonan talks about the techniques he used while working in the elite Bin Laden unit.

Here Jack Cloonan explains that regular interrogation tactics work well on even the worst terrorists, that there’s no such thing as a “ticking timebomb” scenario, and that waterboarding has done much more harm than good.

Here, in an IQ2US debate, Jack Cloonan argues against the notion that “tough interrogation of terror suspects is necessary”

Here General David Petraeus denounces the use of torture on Fox News

Here intelligence officials admit that torture does not work

Here Cenk Uygur explains the CIA report that concludes torture did not stop or prevent any attacks or “produce the desired results”

Here Dick Cheney tells Matt Lauer it’s not okay for Americans to be waterboarded

How many more do you need?

Dick Cheney against waterboarding, huh? Oh wait, only for Americans. It’s totally cool for us to do it, though.
