No clue who the guy is. I thought it was amusing b/c there's nothing inherently desirable to waterboarding, just like there isn't to football. It's not an inalienable right in any fashion - the one b/c it's an opposite of a right if anything, and the other b/c it has no relationship to rights at all. (Football's orthogonal to rights?) It was the amusement or "eye catching" sound bite -ness to it that grabbed me. I find him entertaining - he's not truly commenting upon politics, just sports, so I didn't read much into the comment.
