In this day and age when we have to think about recycling and sustainability and where a huge amount of the earth's population does not have access to clean and safe water, there must be an alternative to water-boarding the detainees at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere. I am sure that most of the water goes on the floor and is therefore 'wasted'. As a concerned citizen of the world, I feel I have to do my part to help.
Instead of using water-boarding to get people to talk, which by the way must be ever so difficult to do when you've got a mouth and a set of lungs full of water (do you get special training to be able to understand what they say? Sort of like dentists?), I believe that you should record a screaming/whinging baby. Let me tell you, this is a gold mine. Not only is it sustainable - you can use the same baby more than once - but it's also very, very effective.
My baby is 6 months old and while he is the cutest and usually very happy and smiling, the few hours where teething causes him to scream makes me want to do anything. Hell, I'd even tell you where Bin Laden is hiding and what happened to Jimmy Hoffa.
So if you'd like me to, I'll send you a recording of Baby N crying due to teething but I am sure there are babies much closer than we are and again, we do have to think about transport and its effects on the environment. It's just an idea but I'm sure you'll have them queuing up to the confession room like a church full of catholics (slightly ironic, isn't it?) after only a little while. The water saved can go on flowerbeds to brighten the place up, it's looks very grey on television but perhaps the TV-screen does not reflect a true representation of the place?
Sincerely,
Ems & Baby N
