No, they are calling it "waterboarding", which is what it is.
Which is torture and not merely an enhanced interrorgation technique.
There's that torturous path again. KSM would have spilled his guts weeks earlier if he had to put up with this convoluted highway to nowhere.
he did not give this information, and frankly we have very little beyond confessions, which torture is good for, to show he gave us anything. Only the claim that he did.
What law did they break? They were advised at the time that waterboarding was legal, as well it should be.
And of course it was justified by the subsequent killing of Dustbin Laden. Where is the problem?
They were wrong, and rather dishonest. We've been through that, but torture is against the law, and waterboarding has always been torture. you might tell those US soliders we court martialed during the VN war it's not torture. They were told otherwise.
