Never mind that we executed Japanese who used waterboarding on Americans.Waterboarding was not used as a punishment, but as an interrogation technique. Also it was not used on citizens, but on non citizens declared to be fighting outisde of the laws of modern warfare.
The use was authorized at the highest level, and therefore was perfomed in a legal manner.
Just because you are against it doesnt make it illegal or unconstituitonal.
I have my issues with Nuremberg and the war trials of the Japanese etc.. but aside from that; do you know why the japanese who water boarded were executed?
I'd like to know. I didn't know any were executed just for waterboarding.
