Re: Waterboarding and Waco

I knew I was setting Lakely bait. : )

But Jim, I think you know how I feel about the death penalty.

As for Waco: Do you think those deaths were the result of bad judgment, or the result of an official government policy that we set fire to the compounds of gun-toting cults? If you think it's the second, then you're right: We have a real problem.

We don't accidentally waterboard anybody. It wasn't a momentary lapse. It was part of our war-fighting policy, which we defend to this day. But which we also prosecute when others do it.

So yes: Chutzpah.
