In little-noticed comments Thursday, the former White House counsel for
President Richard Nixon John Dean said Thursday that former Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice may have unwittingly admitted to a criminal
conspiracy when questioned about torture by a group of student videographers
at Stanford.
Rice told students at Stanford that she didnt authorize torture, she merely
forwarded the authorization for it. Dean, who became a poster child for
whistleblowing after aiding the prosecution of the Watergate affair, told
MSNBCs Keith Olbermann that Rice may have admitted to a criminal conspiracy.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain reminded people Thursday that
some Japanese were tried and hanged for torturing American prisoners during
World War II with techniques that included waterboarding.
"There should be little doubt from American history that we consider that as
torture otherwise we wouldn't have tried and convicted Japanese for doing
that same thing to Americans," McCain said during a news conference.

...
During World War II both Japanese troops, especially the Kempeitai, and the
officers of the Gestapo,[66] the German secret police, used waterboarding as a
method of torture.
...
Chase J. Nielsen, one of the U.S. airmen who flew in the Doolittle raid
following the attack on Pearl Harbor, was subjected to waterboarding by his
Japanese captors.[71] At their trial for war crimes following the war, he
testified "Well, I was put on my back on the floor with my arms and legs
stretched out, one guard holding each limb. The towel was wrapped around my
face and put across my face and water poured on. They poured water on this
towel until I was almost unconscious from strangulation, then they would let
up until I'd get my breath, then they'd start over again
I felt more or less
like I was drowning, just gasping between life and death."

Twenty-one years earlier, in 1947, the United States charged a Japanese officer,
Yukio Asano, with war crimes for carrying out another form of waterboarding on a
U.S. civilian. The subject was strapped on a stretcher that was tilted so that
his feet were in the air and head near the floor, and small amounts of water were
poured over his face, leaving him gasping for air until he agreed to talk.
"Asano was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.)
told his colleagues last Thursday during the debate on military commissions
legislation. "We punished people with 15 years of hard labor when waterboarding
was used against Americans in World War II," he said.
