Well, relevant to protecting this country: I was hearing something about this 'water-boarding' technique; And the military people who were involved with interrogating one of the main dudes; Well he was 'proud' to be serving his country in this way... And this attitude would certainly be good for his military resume... So, anyway, this 'water-boarding' makes one feel that they are drowning, and they were discussing how long this particular bad guy took to 'break', like about 10 minutes or so... No one likes the feeling of drowning, I guess; Even that guy who was doing the 'magic' trick in NYC; remember, He supposedly was to stay under water for 9 minutes.. Well, even he didn't wish to drown, even if it was on 'Live' Tv. The human condition is just pathetic sometimes, let's face it?
