Waterboarding is international described as torture.
The US has prosecuted water torture as war crime many times in history, what should Waterboarding exclude from this?
In the case Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2006), the
Supreme Court of the United States decides that prisoners of terror can?t be treated as
Unlawful Combatant.
So they fall under the
Laws of War or
Public International Law, and forbid torture.
It is not right to punish someone who infracted the law (terrorism) with lawless methods. That is an antinomy itself.
