Waterboarding in popular culture

•   The Robin Williams movie Jakob the Liar depicts the Waffen SS of the Third Reich using a historical form of waterboarding.
•   The Patrick Robinson novel USS Seawolf and the 2006 Robert De Niro film The Good Shepherd features some dramatised details of the modern form of waterboarding.
•   In an episode of E-Ring entitled "Hard Sell", a member of the team is subjected to waterboarding. The episode itself is a dialogue on the debate of the use of torture to obtain information that might save other lives.
