Workplace Waterboarding?

Yes, just when you think you've seen it all.....  The Word On Employment Law Blog points to an article reporting that as part of  motivational training session, a company engaged in waterboarding of a participant in order "to demonstrate to the employees that they should work as hard as the employee being waterboarded was working to breathe." 

For new on this story - see this Washington Post article on the progress of the legal case so far.

And, what were they thinking???
