Waterboarding Not Torture During Bush Years

Not only was George Bush the worst president in US history, but all of the other components of our society found their way to the bottom of the pack during his reign.

Its a disgraceful stain.

Yahoo: Study: Newspapers stopped describing waterboarding as 'torture' during Bush years

The New York Times defined waterboarding as torture, or effectively implied that it was, 81.5 percent of the time in articles until 2004, the study found. But during 2002-2008 — when the George W. Bush White House made a concerted effort to normalize harsh interrogation methods for use on terror detainees — the Times “called waterboarding torture or implied it was torture in just 2 of 143 articles." That’s 1.4 percent of the time.
