Waterboarding. George Bush claims it isn’t torture. Michael Mukasey won’t call it torture. But DHS Advisor Malcolm Nance and Sen. John McCain both say it is. So what are the rest of us supposed to think?

That’s why Current TV’s Kaj Larsen had himself waterboarded by American Special Forces trainers. Watch this ten minute video, and then tell me that waterboarding isn’t torture.
