Amnesty International demands Bush be prosecuted for waterboarding admission


Amnesty International is claiming the Unites States "must prosecute" former President Bush for admitting he authorized waterboarding of terrorists captured on a foreign battlefield. This obsession with former President Bush should give their normal target Israel a breather.

Reuters reported:
The United States must prosecute former President George W. Bush for torture if his admission in a memoir that he authorized waterboarding holds true, rights group Amnesty International said on Wednesday.

In “Decision Points,” published this week, Bush defended his decision to authorize waterboarding, a form of simulated drowning condemned by some as torture.
