During the Bush Administration it was the position of the Attorney General that Waterboarding was not classified as torture. For this reason the allegation that Bush admitted to authorizing torture is false. Whether a former AG believed that waterboarding was torture or not torture is immaterial to this discussion. During the Bush administration, there had beem two laws passed by Congress and a ruling by the USSC that were intended to ban waterboarding as an interrogation technique because it was considered torture. Yet, Tony Fratto from the WH claimed that waterboarding was legal and that Bush could authorize the CIA to resume using waterboarding. This is after the WH's denied for years that they had authorized torture: latimes.com Anyone foolish enough to believe that Bush was not lying through his teeth and to defend him over this issue deserves to be snookered 24/7.
