ASHCROFT: My job, as Attorney General, was to try and elicit from the experts and the best people in the Department definitions that comported with the statues enacted by the Congress and the Constitution of the United States.

By the way, Japanese at the end of WWII were executed for waterboarding American POWS, Apparently, no such support from Ashcroft or any other Bushites for the poor bastards serving in today's American military on this matter, but then again they were smart enough to stay out of the US military, WERN'T THEY!
