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? Judges and juries interpret the law, not the perpetrators and their lawyers.

They followed due process and did things according to legal guidelines. There are no legal guidelines for waterboarding because waterboarding is illegal. What the Bush adminstration did was some mental masturbation hoping that it would justify the use of waterboarding. It did not and now Cheney et al are running scared. 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? Huh? You're not making any sense which is understandable......you're defending the indefensible.
