Ashcroft: Torture Is Like Being ‘Interviewed By Jon Stewart'

thinkprogress.org — Yesterday at a speech at St. John's University, John Ashcroft tried to downplay the severity of waterboarding: "Going to a high school dance, having to listen to loud music, to me that’s torture. I was on the Daily Show once. I was interviewed by Jon Stewart. That was torture."

  • hawkeye17, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Japanese who waterboared American's were executed...by US. What's funny is that the 'moral majority' Republicans are usually the least moral people around and Ashcroft is Exhibit A judging by this statement.
  • inactive, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2This is the same guy who said history was going to judge them harshly for talking about torture in the oval office...
  • iidestined, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Pleasant fellow he is
  • giantdouche, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1It's ever-so pleasing to see the drowning, beating & drugging of our fellow men taken so lightly by our leaders.
  • toddcat, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1So we can't have classic statues with exposed breasts at the DOJ but an interview with Jon Stewart is "torture". Yes folks, these are your leaders.
