Went back to the beginning of Nov. and did Not see a post on W, did I miss it. Pres. Bush was on Oprah last week, said he approved water boarding as he wrote it in his new Book that he pushed it,not just went along. Saw a clip from the Rachel Maddow show where John Stewart says, W is technically a War Criminal. Reminds me of a recent film, "Ghost Writer". Right now the Military & Justice Dept. will prosecute anyone who is guilty of water boarding. Also, after WWII the US War Crimes Commission hanged Japanese & German who water boarded & sentenced others to long prison terms. Think about it.

Bush wrote it in his book and he said so on an interview promoting his book.
You can't pin this one on John.

You do not understand the law regarding specific intent. The specific intent of the CIA interrogators was to obtain information about plots in the works. That alone is not enough to support a finding of a specific intent to inflict severe pain.
The US under CAT specifically required that a specific intent be found to support a finding of torture.
W said KSM said WB allowed him to waiver his vow to Isalm . KSM said that he had to resist interrogation only up to a certain point. Waterboarding was the technique that allowed him to reach that point and allowed him to talk .
badly misinformed. Here is the deal, enemies are working everyday to cause harm to us. If waterboarding is necessary to obtain information to protect us from attack, then so be it. The Bush administration efforts were focused on finding and preventing attacks from Afghanistan to the Phillipines rather than waiting for the evil-doers to show up at a US airport. JerseyFlyer has right, because this methodology worked.
It's either waterboarding and aggressive rules of engagement or having to submit to ridiculous airport pat-downs. Secretary of Homeland Security NaplitalaNO is an idiot.
