Christopher Hitchens can be an extraordinary ass. But give him credit: He's willing to put his own ass on the line now and again -- kind of like an evil George Plimpton. The latest example: This video of him being waterboarded. After the short experience, he asks the question we should always be asking about torture: "What if they got the wrong guy?"

I replied to the Infinite Monkeys referral to this post. Fatigue prevents me from recounting it here. Except for this part:
Joel asks: After the short experience, [Hitchens] asks the question we should always be asking about torture: "What if they got the wrong guy?"
I say: Ummm. He apparently lives. And gets his shirt as ruffled and wet as Ben after a walk to his car after work.
Cheers, and welcome back from your cross-country adventure.
