HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) A leading Republican voice on national security matters said Saturday he doesnt care what President-elect Donald Trump says, the United States will not reinstate waterboarding.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said at the Halifax International Security Forum that any attempt to bring back harsh interrogation techniques such as waterboarding, which simulates drowning, would quickly be challenged in court.
I dont give a damn what the president of the United States wants to do or anybody else wants to do. We will not waterboard. We will not do it, McCain said to applause during a panel discussion.

Curious where he gets the authority to determine what we would do or not do. Probably nowhere but, like a good statist he is, he just assumes he has the power.
Not photoshopped: Actual pic of McCain grimacing at GWB in the 1st 2000 presidential debate.
I hope McCain chokes on his oatmeal.
McCain is looking forward to being the token Republican on the Sunday talk shows like he was when Bush was President.
Dreams of being the maverick again.
He couldn’t become President but loves playing one on TV.
McQueeg has more nuts in his hand than his pants.
How did John McCain end up on the morally, ethically and legally correct side of an issue?
Did his programming malfunction...?
President Trump only takes suggestions from people who WEREN’T captured, okay?
Time for Johnnie to go back to attacking his own party right on cue.
John is not the decider.
Okay Johnny. You can go back to your nap now.
Please John, just go away. Take your liberal views with you. What the hell is wrong with Arizona?
Watch for him to caucus with the Democrats
Waterboarding will soon be obsolete as brain electrical field analysis technology is developed to read thoughts involuntarily. “Put this hat on for a couple minutes, Omar, lessee what you got going on inside there...”
It’s not our fault. The damn DemocRATS keep reelecting him!
He suddenly gets all sassy when its a white president.

If Sen. McCain resigns the Republican Governor of Arizona appoints a Republican replacement.
Yeah, Juan fights like a li’l tiger when his opponent is on his side.
The voters of Arizona just let this boob have another six years. Kooks.
Trump: ".... and how many divisions does John McCain have?"
