Bradbury's Defense Of Waterboarding

By The Daily Dish
Feb 15 2008, 12:17 PM ET

It all depends on what the meaning of the word "waterboarding" is, apparently:

Let's be very clear: This so-called "analysis" is at the very core of the OLC justification for waterboarding, and possibly several other components of the CIA program, as well. And it is flatly, 100% wrong, and indefensible, for reasons I have discussed at length. The fact that Judge Mukasey continues to abide by it is a scandal. And the fact that Congress has not said a word about this legal linchpin of the OLC/CIA regime is even worse.
