They got me 3 times too. The first time was after running a mile and a half after I had been "captured." All three times I broke but the 2nd time I was able to hold my breath for about 25-30 seconds and then it was all over. Actually, I think that the technique is too good for our enemies.

I was watching The Ten Commandments the other night and wondered what they could do with that movie today. I would love to see the plagues done with the special effects technolgy that they have today. It might make some people think.

When I was in the military I had the privilege of participating in S.E.R.E (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) training. Part of the training involved time spent in a mock POW camp and enduring various interrogation techniques. I was waterboarded 3 times. I broke every time. Despite what anyone says it is VERY effective. It is also rather harmless seeing I am still alive and well unlike those that are beheaded or set ablaze. The great thing about the technique is the fact that once you agree to answer the interrogator's questions, they stop the procedure. If you don't want to endure the procedure then answer the question. What is so hard about that?

For the life of me I don't understand why Hollywood doesn't embrace and make films of some of the stories in the Old Testament. The story lines are engrossing and very relevant. The characters are extremely interesting. Combined with today's special effects technology, they would be amazing!

Amazing! There are over 30,000 deaths each year in the U.S. due to influenza and no one bats an eye. Talk about creating a crisis. I wonder what our current administration will extract out of this one?
