That was already debunked Derwood. You see, since waterboarding is illegal, he was threatened with arrest for going through with it - even though it was consensual. In order to avoid the Chicago police from preventing the event from taking place, they passed it off as a hoax, or a radio stunt in their promotion of the event.

Seems that even if it's consensual, it's still illegal.
It also seems that it wasn't a hoax.
