It has been stated over and over again.

We do not use this technique routinely.

It’s strange...it doesn’t make any sense why this guy would want to go on record saying this, unless he really believes it doesn’t work (people just lie to make it stop) - and feels other forms of torturous interrogation that could be deemed better should be used. But if it is what made Mohammed crumble, then it obviously can work.

Actually, I don't think we use it at all, anymore. I acknowledged that before, and I have no problem with that.

I was addressing the "Do whatever it takes/ticking time bomb" argument. I think our current policy is right on the money.

I also don't think waterboarding is torture, just to be perfectly clear. I think we should be able to set reasonable limits on interrogation techniques without applying false labels or resorting to International Law, whatever that is.

If I ever see a photo of Mohammed, I hope he is missing several fingernails.
