And yet Reagan's DOJ prosecuted Texas sherriffs and their deputies for waterboarding people calling it torture. And yet the US has participated in prosecution of people during just about every war for waterboarding, calling it torture and characterizing them as war crimes.

Huh.

  That old nutiness about the war crimes being just tried for waterboarding is very silly. The Japanese for example were accused of a long list of atrocities. Go and find one that was only tried for waterboarding.
  
  As for the sheriff I do not know what the law was then since it was changed after that but the current law makes it legal to waterboard.
