(Video) Waterboarding demonstration

From the brand new Waterboarding.org.  Just in case you forgot what it is:

Waterboarding induces panic and suffering by forcing aperson to inhale water into the sinuses, pharynx, larynx, trachea, andlungs.

The head is tilted back and water is poured into the upturned mouthor nose. Eventually the subject cannot exhale more air or cough outmore water, the lungs are collapsed, and the sinuses and trachea arefilled with water. The subject is drowned from the inside, filling withwater from the head down. The chest and lungs are kept higher than thehead so that coughing draws water up and into the lungs while avoidingtotal suffocation. "His sufferings must be that of a man who is drowning, but cannot drown."

Here is a demonstration (might be considered graphic by some of you):

Send your special thanks to Democrats Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein, whose votes helped 'I don't know if waterboarding is torture' Michael Mukasey clear committee.  This will be our new Attorney General.

Isn't it a bad idea to show this? Not just this site, but I've seen this on TV. It just gives people ideas.
