What we all suspected is now a fact. The President of the United States gave the OK to torture suspected terrorists.

Up until yesterday, the Bush Administration has steadfastly insisted that the US does not use torture, but rather employ “enhanced interrogation techniques,” that were tough but lawful.

During a press conference, CIA Director Lt. Gen. Michael Hayden finally announced that yes indeed the US did use the technique known as ‘waterboarding’ to interrogate three suspected terrorists. White House spokesman Tony Fratto later stated, “this program and the techniques used in it were determined lawful, through a process.”

I wonder what “process” they used to determine that an internationally recognized form of torture known as waterboarding would be legal in the United States?

Mr. Fratto went on to say that the technique is no longer authorized for use because the intelligence community’s “knowledge of how to interrogate in effective ways has evolved.”

Is there anybody else besides me that sees an international war crimes tribunal in Bush’s future?
