Fox News reporter Steve Harrigan underwent waterboarding on camera to see what it's all about. Hot Air has the video here (via Instapundit, with more discussion at the Belmont Club).

Reupblicans will like this segment because Harrigan concludes that waterboarding is an "efficient", essentially psychological interrogation technique with no physical aftereffects.

Democrats will like it because, hey, it's a Fox News guy getting waterboarded.

That video really makes me not look forward to the day the government decides Japan-bloggers are a potentional threat, and detains me for some "non-torture" questioning.

Some Japanese war criminals were tried, convicted and punished for using the water torture on American soldiers.

Likewise, some American soldiers have been convicted of using it, in the past.

It was interesting to watch and gave me a better idea of how waterboarding works but, for me, the best thing that I read was a comment on Hot Air - I was going to go snowboarding but I don’t like having ice dropped down my nose.

Most of the rest was the same pro/con stuff that I've read a thousand times before.
