Hmm. I don't see anything about waterboarding in that article, but there is a dunking variant or two. Barrels on ropes. I like that dunking idea. I've heard of the dunking chair, but this is the first time I've heard about barrels being used.

And those various trials by ordeal were rather peculiar ways of determining innocence or guilt, weren't they? "Here. Hold this red-hot iron rod. If you don't get any burns on your hand, you're free to go." "Oh, just hang me now, will you?"

Speaking of which, how did the hunt for Uzan go? :)
