David Swanson's recent "US Government Threatens to Prosecute Waterboarding” article is posted here at World Can't Wait.
The title is an exciting development for those of us who have been waiting anxiously for precisely that headline.
Except that the waterboarding that our government is threatening to prosecute isn't the waterboarding that Cheney has touted the virtues of.
It's not for those who carried it out the 186 times that it was done to two known detainees: Khalid Sheik Mohammed and Abu Zubadyah.
It's not for those in unknown and known locations like Abu Ghraib and Bagram who've been subjected to suffocation by water.
