I was going to post about this as well (it's been posted to many of the skeptic blogs). I probably agree with his positions more than you (but rarely with the way they're presented) but you're right: you can't say that he's taking the easy way out on this. I've no question in my mind that waterboarding clearly qualifies as torture under any reasonable definition. Whether the US should use it or not is a separate question. If we do, then the US tortures. It's as simple as that.
