Donald Trump doesn't give a damn about any old international law. When he's president, he promises, he'll bring back waterboarding and “worse” and end the practice's status as a war crime.
"I'd go through a process and get it declassified frankly ... certainly waterboarding at a minimum," Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." […]
Trump said during Saturday night's Republican debate in New Hampshire that he would reinstate waterboarding if elected and "bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding." But he did not say what he would do that was "worse."
"You can say what you want I have no doubt that it does work in term of information and other things," Trump told Tapper.
How exactly Trump proposes to do this when he seems to believe "declassifying" waterboarding is what needs to happen isn't clear. Nor is how he believes he can get the rest of the civilized world to go along with him. But he'll undoubtedly have his people figure that all out for him.
At least Dick Cheney and John Yoo have their candidate. [Reference to George W's cabinet. ---Bozo]
