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.

Thanks Arizona voters for saddling the Trump administration with this friend of Islamic terrorists.
And I don't give a damn what you say, you poor excuse for a Navy officer; If our President wants it, I'll fight you for it!
Why not, he caucused with the N. Vietnamese.
“waterboarding was actually used on our own special forces in their training”
Not just special forces. Lots of guys went through SERE school.
I heard they gave him an apartment in Hanoi with two prostitutes.
It’s the damn DemocRAT snowbirds that come here from the upper Midwest in the fall. We’ve already begun working on getting rid of Flake. All we can do is all we can do. The snowbird DemocRATS love these two idiots.
69 Million Voters To McCain: We would rather an anti American Socialist running the country than you
Wow did I miss something? I thought Mr. Trump got elected not McLAME.
Time to declassify who was “Songbird” called by the North Vietnamese.
Like he’d know about it.
I respect that he withstood torture for the US for seven years.
I just didn’t know that it would result in torture for us for DECADES!
“I dont give a damn what the president of the United States wants to do or anybody else wants to do.”
John, who the hell appointed you Emperor? Last I checked, you were just one of 100 Senators.
It is funny that when it is a white POTUS McShame grows a set, HEY McShame SHUT UP LOSER, you had your shot and LOST, more than that the ONLY REASON ANYONE voted for your HAPPY ASS was Sarah who YOU threw under a bus at EVERY TURN, BASTARD!!!
To McCain:
And once voter fraud is cleaned out, YOU won’t be re-instated either. Hopefully you will assume room temperature before that.
Despicable Swamp Monster Extraordinaire
SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP TRUMP IS THE NEW PRESIDENT AND WHAT YOU WANT IS IMMATERIAL.
Will McQueeb the traitor ever address terrorism and islalism as forms of national torture? Or does he just wants torture enshrined through political correctness hypocrisy
liar.
I wish he would just retire.
He practically told Americans to vote for Obama in a debate.
Intentional loser John McCain.
I underwent “hazing” to get into a fraternity in Jan. 1967, which was worse than waterboarding.
The idea that we refrain from waterboarding known terrorists, is absurd.
Yes!
