Bush to veto bill banning waterboarding

The White House says President Bush will veto legislation on Saturday
that would have barred the CIA from using waterboarding ? a technique
that simulates drowning ? and other harsh interrogation methods on
terror suspects.
Bush has said the bill would harm the government?s ability to prevent
future attacks. Supporters of the legislation argue that it preserves
the United States? right to collect critical intelligence while boosting
the country?s moral standing abroad.
?The bill would take away one of the most valuable tools on the war on
terror, the CIA program to detain and question key terrorist leaders and
operatives,? deputy White House press secretary Tony Fratto said Friday.
The bill would restrict the CIA to using only the 19 interrogation
techniques listed in the Army field manual.
The legislation would bar the CIA from using waterboarding, sensory
deprivation or other coercive methods to break a prisoner who refuses to
answer questions. Those practices were banned by the military in 2006.
The legislation cleared the House in December and won Senate approval
last month

Bush has not vetoed any legislation at all, throughout his entire
presidency, and now he?s going to start with THIS legislation?
Goes to show you what his priorities are.
And waterboarding does not ?simulate? drowning. Waterboarding IS
drowning. People are drowned, and then revived. One of the worst
tortures ever devised by diabolical minds.
