The top legal adviser within the US state department, who counsels the secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, on international law, has declined to rule out the use of the interrogation technique known as waterboarding even if it were applied by foreign intelligence services on US citizens.When I was in the service we were lectured on the Geneva Conventions - name, rank, and serial number, and all that; now, I suppose, the troops are just told "hold your breath."
Meanwhile, WIIIAI reports, that Musasey guy says "if there were a law against waterboarding, Bush would have to abide by it." So there you go. Why no law?
