Again, from the author of the blog?

We're back to the original assessment. No independent verification.
How did this "CajunBoy" supposedly get the e-mails in the first place?

==================================================

Incidentally cnredd, did you notice the paragraph that came LATER in the article?
What it REALLY says is rather interesting...

In short, when we watched the Mancow video for the first time it struck us in a "well that doesn't look TOO awful" sort of way. For a brief moment it even made us want to call some friends over so we could all waterboard each other and see what all the fuss is about. On the other hand, the Hitchens video is somewhat nightmarish, making us want to never have anything to do with a waterboarding, ever.
One of the allegations is that the guy who performed the Mancow waterboarding didn't know what he was doing.
They compared it to the "Hitchens" waterboarding, by experts.

So they clearly establish that what the author of this article thinks is a REAL waterboarding, is "somewhat nightmarish, making us want to never have anything to do with a waterboarding, ever".

You're quoting an author who clearly thinks waterboarding is torture...
