Well there is the legal guideline, then there is the personal view point. We still go by the rule of law in this country and at least the American ruling was already delivered long ago, not that it couldn't be updated.

I am curious though, why you haven't responded to my question regarding Extraordinary Rendition, which was approved during the Clinton Administration?

Best Regards,

>> You are an absolute idiot, if you do not know that waterboarding is torture, plain and simple.

More media personalities have been waterboarded in the US than terrorists.

As to "will confess to anything", the director of the EIT program has stated that KSM did not respond AT ALL to waterboarding, and it didn't bother him in the slightest. KSM responded better to other EIT.

Hey, the Bush administration just changed the definition of 'torture'. By their definition, if you take a hammer and break the bones in their hands and feet and then nail them to a wall, you haven't tortured them as long as they don't die.
