Waterboarding: call to indict Bush following his memoirs confession
Waterboarding: call to indict Bush following his memoirs confession

He has not lost his arrogance. He wants to sell his book, titled 'Decision Points'.

He still dodges questions that are uncomfortable.

I caught a short clip of George Bush's appearance with Matt Lauer regarding the legality of waterboarding. He was told by experts that waterboarding was legal; so he said: 'Let's do it'. When Lauer then reasoned that establishing waterboarding as legal would make it acceptable to use the technique on American captured troops, there wasn't a hole big enough into which Bush could hide. He just wasn't going to 'debate the issue'.

I, for one, do not intend to read or buy this book, because there is nothing in its pages that would forgive the deception sold to the American people by Bush and his administration to take us to war in Iraq.

2. Unfortunately, "they" use far worse techniques on our troops.

3. Do you think you could provide some verifiable links and numbers
that would support this allegation?

4. Captured American troops aren't waterboarded, they are tortured to death.

6. If he is so sure it was legal then having a trial shouldn't be a problem.
Right?
