They followed due process and did things according to legal guidelines. The review of relevant laws by the authorities approved their plan of action. You can make a law specific to waterboarding but if you do it would be a new law. Do we charge people for crimes when the law wasn't created until years later?

It was not illegal....and Bush had legal opinions indicating the protocol advanced by the CIA did not violate any laws...in fact, that protocol is not anything like the "waterboarding" for which people have been prosecuted. Silly pinhead semantic games with no thought to the unintended consequences of such silliness.
