New York's Coney Island amusement park re-enacts the controversial
interrogation practice from the Guantanamo Bay naval base for fun,
using robots:
The scene using robotic dolls is an installation built by artist
Steve Powers to criticize waterboarding, a simulated drowning
technique the United States has admitted using on terrorism suspects,
but that rights group say is torture.
"Waterboard Thrill Ride" beckons a sign along with cartoon character
"SpongeBob SquarePants" who appears tied down and exclaiming: "It
don't Gitmo better!"
