Rudy on whether waterboarding is torture:

“I’m not sure it is, either,” said Rudy. “It depends on how it’s done. It depends on the circumstances. It depends on who does it.”

And as for the media, Rudy said they’ve exaggerated the nature of waterboarding.

“Sometimes they describe it accurately. Sometimes they exaggerate it,” Rudy said. “So I’d have to see what they really are doing, not the way some of these liberal newspapers have exaggerated it.”
