Justice Investigates Itself Over Waterboarding ApprovalPosted on Feb 22, 2008The Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating memos and opinions rendered by the department that endorsed the practice of waterboarding, which many consider to be torture. The inquiry is unrelated to the FBI’s criminal investigation of the CIA, which destroyed video recordings of the waterboarding of suspects.

By dasm, February 23 at 3:11 pm # “consider to be torture” ??? Japanese people were EXECUTED after WW11 because they waterboarded. They were killed because they waterboarded. What is it about this that Bush & Co. don’t understand?? WAterboarding = war crimes = execution. The U.S. was totally behind this. Now, suddenly, it’s okay? I hope the families of the executed Japanese sue the S**t out of Bush et al.
