So said former VP Richard Cheney over the weekend on “This Week” with ABC’s Jonathan Karl. There is not a court in the United States or in the world that does not consider waterboarding torture. The Red Cross certainly does, and it’s the governing body in international law. It is certainly torture according to the UN Convention on Torture and the Geneva Conventions. The British government, America’s closest Western ally, certainly believes it is torture. No legal authority of any type in the US or the world has ever doubted that waterboarding is torture.
So the former vice-president has just confessed to a war crime.
