Waterboarding

From the NYT this morning:

C.I.A. interrogators used waterboarding, the near-drowning technique that top Obama administration officials have described as illegal torture, 266 times on two key prisoners from Al Qaeda, far more than had been previously reported.

Okay, using torture is a war crime, and waterboarding is torture by any measure, and not just once but 266 times on two persons in the course of a month. And war crimes need to be punished by any law-abiding country that wishes to be respected by the world community.

Any questions? I think somebody needs to be indicted here, and the higher up, the better. Or we just need to close all the prisons and forget about our Constitution because we're just the biggest bunch of hypocrites and frauds in the world.
