[Vision2020] "Harsh" Interrogations -As ye sow,so shall you

[bear at moscow.com]

And as for the then Commander in Chief,

Before the end of President Bush's second term newsmedia in other countries started
opining that 
under the United Nations Convention Against Torture the US is obligated to hold those 
responsible for prisoner abuse to account under criminal law. This view was corroborated
when 
United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading
treatment or 
punishment -Professor Manfred Nowak- on January 20, 2008 remarked on German television
that, 
following the inauguration of Barack Obama as new President, George W. Bush had lost his
head 
of state immunity and under international law the U.S. would now be mandated to start
criminal 
proceedings against all those involved in these violations of the UN Convention Against
Torture. 
Law professor Dietmar Herz explained Novak's comments by saying that under U.S. and 
international law former President Bush is criminally responsible for adopting torture as 
interrogation tool.

1. Is water boarding torture?
2. Was it used as an interrogation tool?
3. Was G.W. Bush
responsible?
