Remember when Sean Hannity said he’d be waterboarded because it’s not torture? Remember when Keith Olbermann offered to pay $1,000 per second to the families of U.S. troops for every second Hannity withstood the technique? I remember.
Sean, pay up or shut up. Now Bill O’Reilly is falsely stating that waterboarding is part of the training U.S. soldiers undergo. Not true. In fact:
Bill O’Reilly falsely equated the waterboarding of detainees by U.S. interrogators with the training U.S. soldiers undergo. In fact, officials familiar with both the techniques used in harsh interrogations and those used in military training programs have said that such a comparison is false; those who undergo certain interrogation techniques in such training programs are aware that there are safeguards and know they can stop the training immediately if necessary.?
