The rhetoric of Donald Trump says he wants to waterboard. The CIA front line just might revolt to such a dictatorial command from our chief “executive”.
Trump said at a Republican primary debate in February, that he would ‘bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.”
“I don’t give a damn what the president of the United States wants to do. We will not waterboard,” Senator John McCain(R-AZ) told an audience at the annual Halifax International Security Forum. “We will not torture people … It doesn’t work.”
