Some people will never get it and this debate will never go away.
George W Bush’s former top adviser has said he is “proud” of the use of harsh interrogation techniques – including waterboarding – during the War on Terror.
via Bush aide Karl Rove insists ‘waterboarding is not torture’ – Times Online.
Why stop at waterboarding? The number one compelling reason was to protect Americans and save lives, so why was waterboarding the only method used?
It is pointless to keep discussing it: President Obama’s administration won’t do anything and political hacks like Rove only do it to score radical conservative “street cred”. But really, what can’t be rationalized away?
