Journalist Waterboards Self
Whether or not waterboarding is a form of torture is a controversial topic in the US.

And the US congress has been holding hearings into the practice too.
Many bloggers discussing the issue linked to a disturbing video by Kaj Larsen a journalist for Current TV. Current is the global television network founded by Al Gore that gives young adults the opportunity to create and influence what airs on TV. In the video Kaj a former navy SEAL paid former military personnel to waterboard him. Here he talks about his experiences.
The UK version of Current.com launches November 19th. And Kaj's report can been seen on Current TV on channel 193 Sky and 155 Virgin Media.
