As the last few weeks have churned up new findings on water-boarding and its initiators, so very few have taken the time to actually analyze fallacies of it and the portrait it paints for the U.S. and the world.

On Friday, May 22, 2009, a conservative talk show host (self-proclaimed Libertarian) took the challenge and was water-boarded for 6 seconds.  Here’s the video:

The conclusion that Mr. Mancow comes to is one that the ENTIRE Republican party is/will be coming to:

“It is way worse than I thought it would be…I don’t want to say this. I do not want to say this. Absolutely torture. That’s drowning.”

The Republican party is in dismay over efficacy of water-boarding and Bush Administration torture.  How can/should they defend the undeniable truth of the matter?  The effects of Mancow’s experiment are deep and painful for any Republican, right now.  Torture, which is what our government has classified water-boarding, is a train wreck for the the GOP, in which they can’t turn their eyes away.  It’s an awful scene.

But the damage has been done and the overall lack of remorse by those who approve and initiated the process are down in the polls.  It’s a sad situation for the GOP and it doesn’t look like it will be improving, any time soon.
