This doesn't mean I endorse waterboarding. For the record, I don't. But thats what legislative bodies are supposed to do, create easy to understand, easily observable laws that serve the needs of our country.
If you want to prohibit something, spell it out. Write the legislation so that it avoids wiggle room and confusion. After 9/11 we were bound to need more legislation in certain areas.
Concerned legislators need to just get to it already if they are concerned about the human rights of terror suspects and others. That is the key. Creating a circus is just about politics - they really don't give a dang and everyone knows it. Otherwise they already would have drafted legislation as soon as we started to collect terrorists and terror suspects.
