Retired Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, host of Fox News’ “War Stories,” told CNSNews.com that he both underwent waterboarding and subjected others to waterboarding as part of Survival, Evasion, Rescue, Escape (SERE) training in the U.S. military.
North said he underwent waterboarding in his own SERE training, and then subjected others to waterboarding when he became a SERE school instructor.
North refutes President Obama’s argument that the waterboarding done by the Central Intelligence Agency in interrogating certain high-ranking al-Qaeda prisoners was torture, and applauds former Vice President Dick Cheney for defending the CIA’s use of the technique and its results.

I wonder where they dug up North?
Let's see, we have a military officer who has shown in the past that he doesn't mind breaking the law in order to follow through on his mission.
I am not convinced that North is telling the truth about being water boarded.
Maybe he would
consent to this procedure again on camera to show us how this practice is not torture.
It is amazing how someone who broke the law and manipulated illegal funds would be held in such high esteem by someone as law-abiding as yourself.
It truly
is ironic.
I wasn't talking about Revmitchell personally, I was addressing him as a typical conservative.
The conservatives I know personally all pretty much admire Colonial North.
If I'm wrong, and Revmitchell doesn't share this view concerning Oliver North, then I apologize.
