“The controversial interrogation technique of waterboarding has served a ‘valuable’ purpose and does not constitute torture, former Attorney General John Ashcroft told a House committee Thursday. … Ashcroft, who stated his opposition to torture, said the Justice Department has determined that waterboarding — as defined and described by the CIA — doesn’t constitute torture. ‘I believe a report of waterboarding would be serious, but I do not believe it would define torture,’ Ashcroft said, responding to questions from Rep. Maxine Waters, D-California.” (07/17/08) Link: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/17/ashcroft.waterboarding/ Filed under: RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
