>> Plus, she says she never authorized waterboarding... Was she in a position to authorize it? Of course not.

The Turk spun her comments and you represented the situation in an even more corrupt manner. Rice was truthful, accurate, and honorable ... as always. She said she didn't authorize anything, she conveyed authorization. Truth. She said the authorization carried a guarantee on it that nothing we would do would be outside our legal obligations to the conventions against torture. And that authorizations were subject to the Justice Departments clearance. All true. The interrogators were acting under legal authorization, and Condoleeza Rice's conveyance to that effect was truthful and accurate. By definition (Context: guarantee to legality by the President, subject to justice department approval), it was legal for the interrogators to use waterboarding. Rice is a decent, honorable and lovely human being. You should be ashamed of your attempts to besmirch her good name but I know that is not within you. So be it.
