Changing the tone

Not just in Washington, but throughout the United States.
In a lawsuit filed in January, former Prosper Inc. employee Chad Hudgens accused his former boss, Joshua Christopherson, of waterboarding him in May 2007 while instructing other employees to hold him down. Prosper does not dispute that the incident took place, but said it was voluntary and that Hudgens was fully aware of what the exercise would entail when he volunteered for it.
And because the attorney general can’t figure out if waterboarding is illegal, I guess there won’t be any criminal charges.
Thanks BushCo!
It’s probably going to take two kids horsing around, deciding to take turns waterboarding each other “for fun” and then one of them dies for the tone to really change.
Hey Kids! You’ll want to try the latest fun, waterboarding! Try it on your friends. Or as described in this article from the Salt Lake Tribune, on your employees:

Posted: 7:14 PM- A supervisor at a motivational coaching business in Provo is accused of waterboarding an employee in front of his sales team to demonstrate that they should work as hard on sales as the employee had worked to breathe.
In a lawsuit filed last month, former Prosper, Inc. salesman Chad Hudgens alleges his managers also allowed the supervisor to draw mustaches on employees’ faces, take away their chairs and beat on their desks with a wooden paddle “because it resulted in increased revenues for the company.”
