Waterboarding an attraction at amusement park
水刑成為遊樂場賣點
A man with a black hood pours water on the face of a prisoner in an orange jumpsuit strapped to a table: no, it’s not Guantanamo Bay naval base, but New York’s Coney Island amusement park.
一個戴著黑色頭套的男人將水倒到身穿橘色連身裝、被綁在桌面的犯人臉上:不,這可不是關達納摩海軍基地喔,這是紐約的康尼島遊樂場。

Wikipedia article "Waterboarding".坐水凳(waterboarding)是偵訊嫌犯時所用的一種方式,自古即在使用,有些國家視其為刑求而禁用,但有些國家如美國則尚未視其為刑求,而允許使用。
