| Tales of waterboarding 183 times evaporates |
| 2009-04-28 |
| A U.S. official with knowledge of the interrogation program told FOX News that the much-cited figure represents the number of times water was poured onto Mohammed's face -- not the number of times the CIA applied the simulated-drowning technique on the terror suspect. According to a 2007 Red Cross report, he was subjected a total of "five sessions of ill-treatment." "The water was poured 183 times -- there were 183 pours," the official explained, adding that "each pour was a matter of seconds." |

| #3 That's what pisses me off. The worst American "torture" doesn't even rise to the level of middle school hijinks. Come on you CIA frat boys, at least match what you endured during sorority rush or was that too traumatic for your tender psyches? |

| #2 "183 Swirlies" doesn't carry the same bravura. Think President Erkel |
