Bill...when was W/B first authorized as an approved policy of the United States to be used in the interrogation of terrorist suspects?

It was NOT an authorized practice for decades, as you allege. The history on this is all spelled out and you claim I have extreme ignorance? Please help me understand then, why the decisions of late 2001-02 were so conroversial and so challenged by the military? What exactly were those decisions and why was the Executive branch involved?

Bill, if you are saying the technique has been done for decades, who authorized it before...and did we punish the perpetrators?

Please help me with my ignorance.
