2008-07-02 Hitchens under torture

2008-07-02 \PZ Myers/posts\PZ Myers on Christopher Hitchens http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/07/hitchens_under_torture.php Hitchens under torture &ldquo;Christopher Hitchens' views on war in the Middle East often infuriate me, even while I greatly enjoyed his views on religion. My respect for him goes up, though, because he has done something I wouldn't: to determine whether it really was torture, he had himself waterboarded by the US military (and if you relish the thought of watching Hitchens actually being tortured, it was recorded on video).
