Doctor says enhanced interrogation is still torture
Dr. Allen Keller says that ‘enhanced interrogation’ is still torture at a discussion hosted by the National Endowment of Democracy (NED). Keller says that if it looks like torture and smells like torture, then it is torture. He also reiterates that water boarding is simulated drowning, not just something that sounds like a sport, and emphasizes that language has meaning. (0:26)
