Bush on torture: his ticket to jail?
sent by Sasha56 since 19 hours 54 minutes, published about 2 hours 18 minutes
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)?
