Crap Coney Island Insane Crassness ...



"Only in America!"

Yes, we know it's an oft overused, corny old quote - that's why we almost always avoid using it.

However, from time to time we absolutely, positively have to make an exception.

Today, is one of those times.

WATER BOARDING AN ATTRACTION AT AMUSEMENT PARK

NEW YORK (Reuters)

A man with a black hood pours water on the face of a prisoner in an orange jumpsuit strapped to a table: no, it's not Guantanamo Bay naval base, but New York's Coney Island amusement park.

Amusement?

Jeezus H. suffering Christ!

Just how sodding sadistic can some slimy, sick shits get?

Amnesty International's Waterboarding Video ...

*

Via all three bottom links (below), you can watch the actual/awful torture technique of WATERBOARDING.

Malcolm Nance, who trained hundreds of US servicemen and women to resist interrogation by putting them through "waterboarding" exercises, demanded an immediate end to the practice by all US personnel.

He said: "They seem to think it is worth throwing the honour of 220 years of American decency in war out of the window. Waterboarding is out-and-out torture, and I'm deeply ashamed President Bush has authorised its use and dragged the US's reputation into the mud."
