American-British Enhanced Interrogation Techniques Were Punishable By Death

What I am reporting is a simple empirical fact: the interrogation methods approved and defended by [Bush] are not new. Many have been used in the past. The very phrase used by the president to describe torture-that-isn’t-somehow-torture - “enhanced interrogation techniques” - is a term originally coined by the Nazis. The techniques are indistinguishable. The methods were clearly understood in 1948 as war-crimes. The punishment for them was death.

Wow.
