Waterboarding = Swimming

12.12.07 -- 9:09AM
By David Kurtz

Sen. Kit Bond (R-MO), last night on PBS' Newshour:

GWEN IFILL: I just would like to -- but do you think that waterboarding, as I described it, constitutes torture?

SEN. KIT BOND: There are different ways of doing it. It's like swimming, freestyle, backstroke. The waterboarding could be used almost to define some of the techniques that our trainees are put through, but that's beside the point. It's not being used.

Late Update: Watch the video.
