Say what you like about that Pol Pot character ...

I don't generally offer much political commentary here. But in light of the events of recent days, I thought I should link to David Corn's recent post, which contains some instructive photographs and commentary on the practice of waterboarding--a favorite technique of the Khmer Rouge and, of late, the Executive Branch.

But don't click if you have a low tolerance for disturbing images. The photos are not graphic, exactly, but I'm having a hard time getting them out of my head.

Here.
