[QUOTE="Jones, post: 660877, member: 4805"] Boot's main point seems to be that the use of waterboarding has been exaggerated for political purposes, and I don't necessarily disagree with that. He's also saying that while our forces shouldn't engage in such conduct, we shouldn't stop our allies if they choose to (he makes this point more clearly in the linked article at the bottom left). While I generally agree with that under the principle that it's not our job to dictate internal policy to other countries, I think it gets a little murky when you start talking about rendition. He kinda dances around the question of whether waterboarding is torture or not, I think he just doesn't want to get into it because he doesn't want to argue that specific point with someone like Nance.
