有争议的审讯技术waterboarding为一个“可贵的”目的服务，并且不构成酷刑，前检察长约翰Ashcroft告诉了议院委员会星期四。

作证在布什政府的审讯规则在众院司法委员会面前， Ashcroft保卫了技术，当回答一个问题从Rep时。 霍华德Coble， R北部卡罗来纳州。

“Waterboarding，众所周知，是一个有争议的问题。 您认为它符合了一个有利目的？” 议员要求。

“报道我听见了，并且我没有原因怀疑他们，表明他们有价值”， Ashcroft说，补充说， CIA乔治· Tenet主任表明了从对改进的审讯技术的用途获得的信息的“价值-我不知道不论他说waterboarding，而是假设，他一会儿是-那信息的价值超出了从其他来源获得信息的价值”。

Waterboarding是被设计的技术模仿淹没。 代办处使用它承认了在恐怖嫌疑犯。 有些评论家尊敬它作为酷刑; 其他认为它是一个苛刻的审讯技术，并且拥护者说它是有用的工具在反恐怖战争中。

Ashcroft，陈述他的反对拷打，说司法部确定了waterboarding -如被定义和由CIA描述-不构成酷刑。

“我相信报告waterboarding是严肃的，但我不相信它将定义酷刑”， Ashcroft说，反应问题从Rep。 Maxine水， D加利福尼亚。

他补充说， “司法部一致有在最后六几年或如此，多次在它的评估，得出根据法律存在我的时间当检察长， waterboarding没有构成酷刑的结论”。

水要求Ashcroft这样技术是否将被认为“完全甚而不能接受和罪犯”，如果他们在美国战士使用了。

“很好，我的捐款对这些备忘录和我的信仰法律为这些备忘录提供依据甚而在担当二个任期的我的儿子面前坚持了国外在海湾地区我们的武力的成员”， Ashcroft说。

Rep. 史蒂夫Chabot， R俄亥俄，被要求 多少次waterboarding执行了。 Ashcroft said that it’s his “understanding it has been done three times” as part of an “interrogation process.” He said he thinks the subjects of the interrogations “would be labeled as high-valued detainees.”

The House of Representatives failed to muster the two-thirds majority it needed this year to override President Bush’s veto of a bill that would have banned certain CIA interrogation techniques, including waterboarding.

The White House applauded the vote, saying an override “would have diminished the intelligence community’s ability to protect our nation.”

The bill was an effort to curtail the CIA’s ability to use harsh interrogation techniques that the military and other law enforcement agencies ban. It would have restricted U.S. interrogators to techniques outlined in the Army Field Manual.

The White House said the restriction “would have eliminated the legal alternative procedures in place in the CIA program to question the world’s most dangerous and violent terrorists.”
