That's what I would ask these morons.  

Why doesn't Russert, for example, hire a couple of burly masked men and then spring them on his Republican guests who say waterboarding is like 'swimming the backstroke.'  The masked men could subject them to waterboarding and Russert could query them about it as they struggle to breath.

I think teevee ratings would be high.  Such a 'gotcha' interview would be more popular than Colbert's White House Correspondence Dinner speech.
