Trump opens door to water boarding

washington - US President Trump does not exclude America lifting the ban on waterboarding. He is convinced that the controversial torture method works, he said in an interview with the US network ABC.

'I want to keep our country safe. IS does things that no one has heard of since the Middle Ages. We need to fight fire with fire,' said Trump. According to the President of America is not playing on a level playing field when it comes to the fight against IS. 'They shoot and behead Christians living in the Middle East.'

Trump is with James Mattis, the Minister of Defence and Mike Pompeo, the director of the CIA, discuss what can and can not. 'If they do not want, that's fine. But if they want to do it, then I will help to achieve that goal.'

The interrogation technique in which a defendant believes he is drowning, was banned under President Barack Obama, after his predecessor George W. Bush did use the method in its fight against terrorism.
