US Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Tuesday that waterboarding is not currently authorized for CIA interrogations, but said he would not answer questions from Congress on the technique’s legality in general.
水曜日の上院の司法委員会の前に証明することであるMukaseyは11月9日になる司法長官以来彼が現在の質問プログラムの中央情報局方法で報告されていたと言った。
「限られた一組の方法はそのプログラムの使用のために現在承認される。 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.
