: BalkinizationIf the Attorney General Insisted That the Sun Rises in the West, Would the New York Times Treat it as an Open Question?
By Jack M. Balkin
"C.I.A. officials have said that Mr. Mohammed was one of three detainees who were subjected to the simulated-drowning technique known as waterboarding during interrogation, which is described by some as torture."I look forward to Times stories about the earth, "which is described by some as round and as revolving around the sun."
[UPDATE: My colleague David Luban is quite right to note, in addition -- and perhaps more importantly -- that there's nothing "simulated" about the drowning. It's all-too-real drowning. It simply is not permitted to last until death.]
