Even though I had respect for hitchens before after watching this I have even more. I would be for waterboarding if it was for the fact that's not at all an effective method of interrogation, waterboarding can be life threatening and physiological damaging we can't get information from a terrorist that has PTSD, or is dead. America complains about other counties using torture but we turn around and try and justify using it ourselves.

judging from the video and article I would say hitchens supported or was in favor of waterboarding, before he had it done to him, he seems shaken by it. but that's no were near what a terrorist or someone suspected of terrorism would have gone through, theres is no safety procussions or safe words, it would have continued for a lot longer, and the added physiological fact, he knew his family was safe at home, and not about to be raped and killed, and like he said he knew he wasn't going back to a dark cell after it was over with.
