Their secret film laid Tory MP Alan Duncan low – what other tricks do they have up their sleeves, asks Miranda SawyerVauxhall, south London, at 8.30am on a grey December morning is a dismal place. A place to hurry through, headphones on, mind off, doing the zombie speed-walk between tube station and office. It takes something unusual to divert people from their course, let alone stop in their tracks."Waterboarding! Waterboarding! Anyone fancy...

Two years ago today, Sen. Kit Bond told PNS' Gwen Ifill that waterboarding isn't exactly torture – it's actually a lot "like swimming." "There are different ways of doing it. It's like swimming...uh, freestyle, backstroke."

U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano is suggesting former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney face prosecution for allowing the waterboarding of terror suspects.
