From The Smoking Gun:
Man Arrested for Waterboarding Girlfriend
OCTOBER 28--After accusing his girlfriend of cheating on him, a Nebraska man allegedly tied the woman to a couch in their apartment and waterboarded her, according to police.
Trevor Case, 22, has been charged with domestic assault, false imprisonment, and making terroristic threats in connection with the bizarre incident early Saturday morning at the Lincoln home he shared with the 22-year-old victim.
Police allege that Case stuffed "hospital socks" into Danielle Stallworth's mouth and bound her wrists with belts and hair ties before placing a shirt over her head and dousing it with water, according to a Lincoln Police Department report. “He poured a pitcher of water on her head, and she started freaking out and thought she wasn’t able to breathe,” cops noted.
The waterboarding practice, of course, leaves victims with the sensation that they are drowning.
"As she was trying to get up, she clawed Case on his chest," cops reported. When the couple's young daughter awoke and came into the living room, "the situation calmed down." When questioned by police, Case admitted arguing with Stallworth, but denied tying her up. He claimed that a scratch on his chest occurred while "wrestling with a friend."
An officer noted observing injuries on Stallworth's wrist, arm, and thigh, all of which were photographed.
Case, pictured in the above mug shot, is being held on $150,000 bond at the Lancaster County jail. The police report reveals that Case was convicted last November of domestic assault against Stallworth, with whom he has been involved in a relationship for about five years.
As Glenn Greenwald notes, wonder where he got that idea. And read Greenwald for what that p.o.s. Jonah Goldberg says about Julian Assange. It's unreal the monsters we have in our midst.
In September I saw some son of a bitch on my flight wearing a T-shirt on which was printed a crude cartoon and the words: "Waterboarding: When America Was Safe." I swear to god, it's times like that when I wish I were 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, so I could get up in his face and just say quietly, "you're going to take that off now, aren't you?"
