World Can't Wait... but unfortuately will probably have to anyway

World Can't Wait is a rather charming organization whose premise is that the Bush administration does immeasurable harm every day that they remain in power, and therefore, should be forced from power. However, they do not advocate violence.

Let me get this straight: if we all just yell loud enough, Bush will simply give up and leave. The idea is quite attractive, but is also, of course, completely absurd for a number of reasons.

Despite the patheticness of their mission, they've got the right idea. I thought this was pretty cool. From Democracy Now...

Activists Stage Waterboarding Outside Justice Dept.
On the eve of the vote, activists with the group World Can't Wait gathered in front of the Justice Department Monday to demonstrate an actual waterboarding. Twenty-six year old Iranian-American Maboud Ebrahimzadeh volunteered as the mock terror suspect. Activists posing as interrogators poured several quarts of water into his mouth while a cloth was placed over his face. He was in visible pain as the waterboarding proceeded.

Maboud Ebrahimzadeh: "This is easily the most terrifying experience I've ever had, ever felt, and although it's a controlled environment when water goes into your lungs and you want to scream and you can't, cause you know as soon as you do, you are going to choke."
After the demonstration, anti-torture activist Clark Kissinger said waterboarding should only be seen as a form of torture.
Clark Kissinger: "Today we wanted to put together an actual demonstration of what waterboarding means when it is conducted by this government to people around the world. There seems to be some confusion in the media about this. Some people like to refer to this as an enhanced interrogation technique. It is not an enhanced interrogation technique. It is torture."
Meanwhile, twenty-four former U.S. intelligence officials are urging Senate Judiciary members not to back Mukasey's nomination until he declares his position on waterboarding. In a letter released Monday, the ex-officials write: "We are aware that the president warned last week that it will be either Mukasey as our attorney general or no one. So be it."
