US Attorney General Michael, den Mukasey Dienstag, daß das Waterboarding nicht z.Z. für CIA Befragungen autorisiert wird, aber gesagt er sagte, würde nicht Fragen vom Kongreß auf der Legalität der Technik im allgemeinen beantworten.
Mukasey, das, vor dem Senat-richterlichen Ausschuß am Mittwoch zu bezeugen ist, sagte daß, da werdener Attorney General am 9. November er auf CIA-Methoden in seinem gegenwärtigen Befragungprogramm unterwiesen worden war.
„Ein begrenzter Satz Methoden wird z.Z. für Gebrauch in diesem Programm autorisiert. I have been authorized to disclose publicly that waterboarding is not among those methods,” Mukasey wrote in a letter to committee head Senator Patrick Leahy.
“Accordingly, waterboarding is not, and may not be used in the current programme,” he said.
But Mukasey, under pressure since his nomination last year to declare waterboarding, which simulates drowning, as illegal torture in all cases, would not say whether it has been used in the past.
He also suggested there could be circumstances where it might be allowable, and added that he would not answer questions from the committee about technique’s legality under US law in the absence of any specific current needs and conditions to discuss it.
