Conservative radio talk show host Erich “Mancow” Muller decided to experiment with the infamous torture ritual known as waterboarding. The 42-year-old, Kansas City native wanted to show all his listeners and skeptics of waterboarding just how harmless it really was. Instead, after experiencing the torture of being waterboarded, Mancow took back his initial thoughts and reiterated just how torturing the experience actually was.
The video above shows Mancow being waterboarded with the EMT standing close by in case of any serious emergency.
Waterboarding, which was recently banned in the military for its use on terrorists, is suppose to make the suspect feel like he/she is drowning. However, some military officials have said this is one of the most effective ways in getting important information from terrorists and POWs.

Waterboarding, which was recently banned in the military for its use on terrorists, is suppose to make the suspect feel like he/she is drowning. No. They ARE actually drowning. Can't breathe. Water in your nose and mouth. That's why they feel like their drowning. Mancow graphically describes how it was like a drowning he experienced as a child, only worse. Military officials have said this is one of the most effective ways in getting important information from terrorists and POWs. No they don't. Only White house lawyers and administrators are saying that. Military interrogators are AGAINST the use of waterboarding. Remember those S.E.R.E. trainers? The ones that waterboard Special Forces to train them to resist torture at the hands of savages? They ALL say it's a bad, bad, bad idea.

You left one crucial aspect out of this story. While admitting that he thought it was torture, Mancow, to this day, says that waterboarding should be used.
