Oh, Come On.

Think Progress:
Is [John Ashcroft] saying that he would rather have traded places with a detainee and been waterboarded that night?

Gosh, I dunno. Give me a minute.

TP's larger point, that
conservatives have repeatedly tried to make light of waterboarding in order to downplay the severity of the tactic

is on the money, but this Ashcroft business seems like a cheap shot.
