An unequivocal endorsement of returning to the years of Bush-Cheney and leaving the Geneva Conventions in the dust:
Q: Waterboarding: do you think it’s torture?
Romney: I don’t. … We will have a policy of doing what we think is in our best interest. We’ll use enhanced interrogation techniques that go beyond what’s in the military handbook right now.
It's important to understand that there is only a debate about whether "water-boarding" is torture in this country because it's a war crime for which members of the Washington elite would have to be prosecuted for under the Geneva Conventions. Waterboarding has always been a form of torture, in US and international law, and used to be punished by execution. Life imprisonment for Cheney would be enough for me. Just the rule of law. No more; no less.
