If waterboarding is legally wishy-washy whether it's torture or not, how was the U.S. then able to try and execute some Japanese for torture including waterboarding?
Quote:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain reminded people Thursday that some Japanese were tried and hanged for torturing American prisoners during World War II with techniques that included waterboarding.
"There should be little doubt from American history that we consider that as torture otherwise we wouldn't have tried and convicted Japanese for doing that same thing to Americans," McCain said during a news conference.
