Pretty smart. Gotta love Steve Powers.Too bad the whole thing is lost on Americans at large, the absurdity of the concept.

In certain circles, on certain yachts, people pay good money for this kind of experience.

Wait. Where's the board in this waterboarding thing? I don't get it. Is it like the name for that other activity I probably shouldn't mention by name here, where it turns out there's no actual blowing going on? There's no board?

Apparently some do feel bad when people whom they've never met that would love to shoot them in the face do get waterboarded. Maybe Powers should make a ride where you get to have your head sawed off with a rusty knife -- just to balance things out, y'know?

Waterboarding lawyers is no way to make people feel bad about this. Wait! waterboarding terrorists is no way to make people feel bad about this either.
