The interrogator slaps his assistant on the back and laughs.
"A trial? Ha. We don't need no stinkin' trials in our line of work, Senator. Okay, who's up next?"
Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe McConnell, Mukasey and others who doubt that water-boarding is torture might take repeating dousings without spelling any beans, true or otherwise. And, when their interrogators finally give up, they'll hop off the table and declare their faces have never felt more fresh and clean. Some might even cut back in line for a second ride.
If that happens I'll happily admit I was wrong -- water-boarding isn't torture after all.
But before I can come to that conclusion I need those who say it ain't so to put their own nervous systems where their mouths are.
I'm still waiting -- though I won't hold my breath. (Pun intended)
