Christopher Hitchens is a p*ssy!

I generally like and respect Christopher Hitchens, but he's wrong on several important things.

He's wrong on torture and he's wrong on religion (he's an atheist).

Waterboarding is not torture, in my opinion.

John McCain was tortured when he was a POW, Kaled Sheik Mohammed was not.

I've been through SERE school and nothing there amounts to torture. Although I was never waterboarded in SERE school, based on what I know and what I've seen, waterboarding isn't torture. Hanging someone from the ceiling in ropes, by their elbows, with their hands tied behind their back, for hours at a time is torture. John McCain can tell you about that. Having to kneel with a stick behind your knees and then having your knees stepped on is torture. Having pieces of bamboo shoved under your fingernails is torture. That happened to my grandfather when he was captured by the Japs and held as a POW in Singapore. That's torture.

Having a little water poured over a towel on your face or having panties put over your head isn't torture.

Having watched this video, I'd say Christopher Hitchens is a big pussy. He lasted a whopping 16 seconds.

No heart.


BTW, I think John McCain is wrong on torture too, but he definitely rates to have that opinion.
