(BEVERLY HILLS, CA) — ”When I set out to prove that waterboarding at Guantanamo was not torture,” Erich ”Mancow” Muller says, ”I didn’t realize I was jamming my tongue into a hornet’s nest. Being the fall guy wasn’t as much fun as Lee Majors made it seem on television.”
The Chicago shock jock allowed himself to undergo the so-called ”enhanced interrogation technique” that has been the flash point of America’s debate on torture and how far we, as a nation, will go to get information from terror- related prisoners.
In the October issue of Hustler magazine, Muller admits that his decision to get waterboarded in his studio – and his subsequent admission that he now truly believes it is torture – is a lose-lose for him.
”Everyone instantly hated me,” he says. ”Bleeding-heart liberals thought it was some conservative attempt to mock them. Republicans felt betrayed. Reporters have told me privately that Cheney and Bush hated my test.”
Muller has been accused of staging the whole thing as a hoax. Watching the video makes that a tough one to swallow.
”For years I thought that waterboarding wasn’t torture,” he says. ”and now I do. It was instantly horrific.” He adds that he drowned as a kid and says being waterboarded was worse.
But has that changed his stance on whether or not it should be done by this nation during wartime?
Muller’s full, disturbing description of his experience is in the October issue of Hustler. On Sale now.
Half Life of Fear: The Nuke Industry’s Deadly Gamble
The idea of nuclear energy has its appeal. If we could use the power of the atom to safely meet our nation’s unquenchable energy needs we could crawl out from under the hanging sword of foreign oil. A single kilogram of uranium, supporters say, can produce more energy than 200 barrels of oil. Nuclear fuel, they say, will alleviate the global warming problem. And it’s safe, safe, safe.
If nuclear power is our shining future why aren’t we there yet? The October issue of Hustler magazine examines what the author calls the ”Ten Big Lies” nuclear proponents want us to believe:
No one in the United States has died as a result of nuclear power and only 4,000 will die due to Chernobyl. Nuclear plants can’t explode. A nuclear plant can withstand the impact of an incoming aircraft used as a missile. Uranium fuel is abundant. The ”peaceful” atom. France’s nuclear ”success” story. Nuclear power is inexpensive. Nuclear power doesn’t contribute to global warming. Nuclear power is needed. New designs are inherently safe. Is it all gloom and doom? Are there any upshots at all to nuclear tech? The complete arguments, point-by-point, in the October issue of Hustler. On Sale now.
