Playboy journalist gets a 'buzz' from being waterboarded

Topics: Political News and commentaries

He made a dollar a second bet he could make it 15 seconds, doesn't make it, but says he got a buzz out of it.

Michael Goldfarb writes at NRO:

Playboy journalist Mike Guy got himself waterboarded last month but I missed the video -- probably because it doesn't confirm everything the left already knew to be true and thus has very little news value. On the assumption that many other folks didn't get the chance to see this, watch the video below. Guy takes it like a man, which isn't to say that he lasts longer than five seconds -- after all, the technique is designed to be extremely unpleasant. But the U.S. military trainer who applies the techniques makes clear that he doesn't believe it to be torture, and Guy himself isn't exactly convinced after having suffered through it. He seems to have gotten a buzz off of it. One wonders: if waterboarding really is torture, why are so many folks willing to give it a try? You don't see people lining up to have their fingernails pulled off.
