"As to "torture", a person either sees waterboarding as torture or he doesn't.

Personal opinion weighs in with regards to various forms of treatment of one to another. Personally I find some of the conduct by members of this board to be an atrocity, beyond that we have a horrific record in our private lives wrt treatment of one another. We all have opinions and they are far from black and white. They are based on individual perspective founded in each of our unique circumstances.

The government, our military, and representatives should always be held to the highest legal and ethical standards. The legal policy and law, interpreted by our justice system, is the measure used in this case. According to our justice system, waterboarding was not torture during the Bush administration. No crime in that regard was committed. If you want to criticise the policies go ahead, and let's change any we aren't totally confident in. That's our system. But we don't start by declaring Bush to have broken the law, that is empty and ludicrous.
