Good for the goose

Well, I guess everyone gets to waterboard everyone now. The US seems to have deemed it an acceptable practice, even when the victims are American:

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. John Bellinger refused to denounce the technique, which has been condemned by human rights groups as a form of torture, during a debate on the Bush administration's stance on international law held by Guardian America

Strange, given that the US operated and participated in the trials and executions of Nazis for using such techniques. How about we make this simple, and all just go back to not torturing, hmm?
