Waterboarding in Popular Culture: "Jakob the Liar" (1999)

[Ghafmocro]

I almost ried at this part of the movie :(

[wolves4545]

jakob the liar is a very moving movie in my opinion

[GovernmentSham912]

water boarding makes you bleed?

[bongoloid21]

Surely all Robin had to do was tell the guards he was a North American of Welsh-Scottish ancestry and they'd have moved him to a conventional prison camp?

[Vasdefrens1]

Robin deserved this for "Patch Adams"

[boobiesmakemesmile06]

nar.. this is a good old fashioned dunk a which until they think theyl drown the next time.

the reality is the first time is the one that feels like your fucked.

[WolfsPoet]

I read the book they used for this movie....nothing like this happend in the book.

[bossman391]

water boarding is simulated drowning.

this is actual drowning.

still don't think either is right.

[BeautiiifuLx3]

this is really unbelievable what you make there. No more socially what is permitted everything

[ponster888]

Waterboarding may become very popular now with all this attention out in the media. I should start a company selling water boards. I will become rich. Rich I tell ya.

[boobiesmakemesmile06]

lol

[SSUstufRudel]

Justus von Dohnanyi!

[mtrf2b]

That's not even waterboarding.....yes there is water and yes there is a board. So you're kind of close. Seriously folks get it right before you try and disperse your propaganda.

[JSBSCHWARTZ1]

cures cronic migraines

[PinkyPurply]

that isnt even waterboarding

[skipplet]

Waterboarding really doesn't seem that bad... lol..

[bryon17]

lol that guy has his hands flat at atttention not sure how it was back then but the other guys doing it right lol

[az101010]

waterboarding frightens people- it doesn't hurt them..

when someone has just killed a lot of people and they have a bomb set to kill more- you need to find out from them where the bomb is.. a stupid liberal wants to treat them with respect and a sane person would frighten the hell out of them until they told where the bomb was..

being overtaken by the liberal mentality is the worst thing that can happen to anyone..

[Swateke]

Hahahahahahaha. I love you man. I seriously do.

I'm European btw. Man, its so amusing to see stupid human beings like you, across the pond, in such self-destructive behaviour... You do realise it's people like you that are taking your "proud american flag" in the butt right?

Ahahahaha.

[az10101010]

swateke- you keep what you got and we'll keep what we got- is that a good deal?

[Swateke]

My social security, good health care, government pension funds, 500-1500$ annual tuition fees in top notch universities, that send scholarship doctorates and post-docs to the US ivy league all the time?

^^

Sure. But you do realize you guys are losing big time right? Go watch fox.

[varun009]

no its not cause hez got nothing! haha!

[Luciferhawke]

good movie none-the-less

[zorg979]

lol nazis used it, now mossad does, how times change eh?

[MuslimGhost]

The jews just copied all their techniques from the nazis. As long as a jew isnt being waterboarded, its not torture. If a single Israeli was captured by American soldiers- such as the ones who were caught filming 9/11, or the ones who were caught installing back doors in FBI software, or the ones who stole nuclear secrets- and then waterboarded, you would never hear the end of it. America would be paying torture money to israel for the next 200 years

[Hexiva]

You get bastard of every religion.

[bartlebybartleby]

posting shit like this only helps people who think torture is acceptable

[footballwr82]

That's NOT waterboarding! That is just dunking their heads in water. Waterboarding in POURING water over the victim's head, with a cloth or saran wrap over the mouth, NOT dunking . I know because i'm doing a Thesis Paper on it.

[raystorm7]

I see water and a board = waterboarding no matter how you slice it, Put a cupcake on his head, have a cat scratch his balls its still waterboarding...thesis done!

[footballwr82]

yes it does matter how you do it. I bet i know a lot more about it than you do, that IS NOT WATERBOARDING!!!

[raystorm7]

Where in the hell did you get educated! There is a place called a library where you can see FACTUAL pictures and historical documentation of what waterboarding in all its forms is. Better yet let me make it easier for you. Select Google in your browser, click images to search and type "Waterboarding" ...viola. Don't believe your lying eyes if you choose too bro.

[footballwr82]

No shit sherlock. obviously i got the info from the library! and oh i don't know, NEWS sites, and a whole site on JUST WATERBOARDING. and don't even think on commenting back because you have no idea about what you're talking about.

[raystorm7]

lol at your "and don't even think on commenting back". Good luck on your paper then bro ;) Also Don't forget, the Bush administration is always looking for new brown shirt recruits for the next war. Go get em Champ and sign up!

[footballwr82]

seriously, your just making a fool of yourself. Oh and fyi, i got a 98 on my paper. And if you LOVE bush so much, why don't you go and sign up and see whats its like to be in a war.

[footballwr82]

oh and i love how you all you did was try and joke your way out of an owning. You didn't even say anything about the rest of my comment. I know now you will say something bad about it now that you had time to think of something, but don't worry, i won't burst your bubble.

[Tabernater]

Printed on page A6 of the Friday, December 7th issue of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is an Associated Press (AP) news article which says it all, right in the same paragraph:

"CIA Director Michael Hayden said the CIA began taping the interrogations as an internal check on the program after PRESIDENT BUSH AUTHORIZED THE USE OF harsh questioning methods. The methods included WATERBOARDING, WHICH SIMULATES DROWNING, government officials said."
