Bush on torture: his ticket to jail?

Well, I always wondered about certain remarks from Bush and Cheney concerning torture. Bush's book is no exception. Everybody knows that if you harm somebody physically it may have judicial consequences. ok, I'm anyway against torture and thus I'll never write it down on my blog anyway that I support it, but even if you support torture, what is the point mentioning it IN A BOOK? Bush is clearly underestimating certain consequences. In short, he's nuts.

Bush on torture: his ticket to jail?

One cannot fault him for dodging responsibility. In his autobiographical book, 'Decision Points' published this week in the United States, former President George W. Bush admits, - no, boasts, of having authorized the practice known as waterboarding in interrogations of suspected members of Al Qaeda by the CIA. The problem? Bush does not believe that this method of 'enhanced interrogation' constitutes torture. But the preceding U.S. administration and the one following, as international experts and foreign courts, disagree. Has he then, by this confession, made himself vulnerable to criminal charges (and ex-Vice President Dick Cheney also had said in an interview last February that he had been staunch supporter of waterboarding)?
