If not waterboarding, something else. Get a few lawyers to redefine as “not torture.” Let next president “move forward.” Repeat.

can't really do that now. laws are specific and very restrictive when during Bush it was general and open to interoperation. 1/2

Requires techniques in AFM & Cong review if AFM changed. Plus Bush 'no lasting harm' rationale can't be used again.

Also, as I understand, review is not if changed, but review, 2 years from now, on whether existing AFM prohibits cruelty
