有爭議的審訊技術waterboarding為一個「可貴的」目的服務，并且不構成酷刑，前檢察長約翰Ashcroft告訴了議院委員會星期四。

作證在布什政府的審訊規則在眾院司法委員會面前， Ashcroft保衛了技術，當回答一個問題從Rep時。 霍華德Coble， R北部卡羅來納州。

「Waterboarding，眾所周知，是一個有爭議的問題。 您認為它符合了一個有利目的？」 議員要求。

「報道我聽見了，并且我沒有原因懷疑他們，表明他們有價值」， Ashcroft說，補充說， CIA喬治・ Tenet主任表明了從對改進的審訊技術的用途獲得的信息的「價值-我不知道不論他說waterboarding，而是假設，他一會兒是-那信息的價值超出了從其他來源獲得信息的價值」。

Waterboarding是被設計的技術模仿淹沒。 代辦處使用它承認了在恐怖嫌疑犯。 有些評論家尊敬它作為酷刑; 其他認為它是一個苛刻的審訊技術，并且擁護者說它是有用的工具在反恐怖戰爭中。

Ashcroft，陳述他的反對拷打，說司法部確定了waterboarding -如被定義和由CIA描述-不構成酷刑。

「我相信報告waterboarding是嚴肅的，但我不相信它將定義酷刑」， Ashcroft說，反應問題從Rep。 Maxine水， D加利福尼亞。

他補充說， 「司法部一致有在最後六幾年或如此，多次在它的評估，得出根據法律存在我的時間當檢察長， waterboarding沒有構成酷刑的結論」。

水要求Ashcroft這樣技術是否將被認為「完全甚而不能接受和罪犯」，如果他們在美國戰士使用了。

「很好，我的捐款對這些備忘錄和我的信仰法律為這些備忘錄提供依據甚而在擔當二個任期的我的兒子面前堅持了國外在海灣地區我們的武力的成員」， Ashcroft說。

Rep. 史蒂夫Chabot， R俄亥俄，被要求 多少次waterboarding執行了。 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.”
