MMA Trainer Ed Clay Gets Waterboarded (by GamenessFightCo)

The party gets started around 3 minutes in to the video.

You’ve got to see the last 2 minutes of the video: Clay talks about things that have been waking me up in the middle of the night for decades.

For proponents of waterboarding who were not convinced it is indeed torture by this video:

Here is Christopher Hitchens being waterboarded.

Here is far-right Conservative and proponent of torture, Eric Mancow, being waterboarded and admitting it’s torture.

Here is Kaj Larsen from Current being waterboarded. (This one is especially nasty.)

Here are the guys of Mythbusters being waterboarded.

Here is former CIA agent Bob Baer discussing torture, claiming Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who was waterboarded 183 times is “almost brain dead.”

Here, in an IQ2US debate, Jack Cloonan argues against the notion that “tough interrogation of terror suspects is necessary”
