The law then was it was legal. The law now is that it’s not. Obama banned by by executive order (I think) as one of his first actions.
Already know where you’re going with this. Since it was legal then they cannot legally be prosecuted for it. Of course that won’t stop them...see taxes on AIG bonuses.
Thanx for the info. Can this law only be changed with executive order? Did Bush use executive order to begin using these interrogation methods, after 9/11 or did Bush inherit Bill Clinton’s policy?
