Senate to Debate Dustboarding
With the “wink wink, nudge nudge” legality of waterboarding established by the Mukasey Attorney General nomination hearings behind them, the Senate is poised to consider another controversial interrogation technique as it reconvenes following the Thanksgiving break.
“You know, I’m thoroughly repulsed by the very thought of dustboarding, but does that mean it should be banned?” asked Sen. Chuck Schumer, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Questionable Intelligence Practices (SubQIP). SubQIP’s job is to look into the moral and ethical issues surrounding the incarceration and interrogation of Global War on Terror detainees.
