So, how about you start us off. Have you been on the board?

I saw a fake waterboarding on a teevee show (Prison Break), and I was surprised that the victim’s face was covered with saran wrap.

I guess I really don’t get the whole concept, except that it is supposed to make you feel like you are drowning when you really aren’t.

So tell us what you know about it.

I was strapped to a 3/4 plywood board using aircraft strappings at the ankles, knees, hips, chest and wrists.

A very large beach towel was folded and soaked in a bucket of water and then held VERY firmly over my face.

Then a water hose was draining over the towel.

The whole time I was never asked a question. They asked questions of the Lt1 who was forced to watch all the while them threatening to kill me.

I had never even heard of the waterboard before and had just spent 8 days in the wilderness with nothing to eat.

They told me when it was over "I bet THAT was the longest 5 minutes of your life. I was "submerged" 6 times in the 5 min period...with about 10secs between each.
