Republican Torture Lawyer McCarthy: Waterboarding repeatedly is torture

[NJGeek]

Who is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_C._McCarthy">McCarthy?

During the 2008 Presidential election campaign, Andrew McCarthy has written a number of posts on the National Review's Corner stating that he thinks that the Democratic Presidential candidate is not serious about protecting U.S. national security against threats from radical Islam and elsewhere, and that Obama has a number of troubling ties and associations with leftist radicals.

Even he admits repeated waterboarding, like what has been http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSN19326905">revealed this week, is torture:

"Personally, I don't believe it qualifies. It is not in the nature of the barbarous sadism universally condemned as torture, an ignominy the law, as we've seen, has been patently careful not to trivialize or conflate with lesser evils".<31> Nevertheless, McCarthy in the same article admits that "waterboarding is close enough to torture that reasonable minds can differ on whether it is torture" and that "(t)here shouldn't be much debate that subjecting someone to repeatedly would cause the type of mental anguish required for torture".
