1. Do you deny waterboarding is torture?

2. Do you deny the United States engaged in waterboarding during the Bush
Administration?

3. Do you still deny waterboarding is and was illegal?

4. Do you believe the United States should engage in torturing prisoners?

Thanks.

Thankfully, unlike Harry, you are bright enough to understand the
difference between your's (or anybody's) OPINION and legal fact. Just
look how Harry worded his blather, that water boarding IS torture. I'd
like to see the legal precedent for that statement.
