That could be part of the joke... Didn’t waterboarding used to be called Chinese water torture? That could be part of the joke…

"Team boxing - the police are all over those monks" doesn't make as good a punchline.

Most people hadn't even heard about water boarding until the past year. That's when everybody found out we were doing it even though we weren't. I think Ian said it all.

Usually he keeps MG&G politically neutral, but now he is obviously trying to show his viewpoints on a larger audience.

We knew that we didn't do it then, when we were doing it. This is a problem with secrecy. We can't tell if we've cleaned up our act or not, because the people who say that we have won't let anyone else check up on it. Anyway, seven years ago, nobody <em>knew</em> about waterboarding -- or, rather, only people who were paying attention did, which is not a large enough population to worry about -- so one wouldn't have had a comic about it.

I can see a strip about China's human right problems (the Tibetan bashing event?) but mentioning the practice that we've used and as far as I know they haven't doesn't do it. Maybe they should have mentioned that while the North Koreans aren't great at Olympic sports, we seem to have gotten our interrogation practices from them. Talk about undercutting the point.
