Rudy on whether he supports water boarding or not
It depends on how it’s done. It depends on the circumstances. It depends on who does it.

It depends on who does it? What? Why would it matter who does it? Does this mean that it is okay for the CIA to do it, but not for the military? Again, another Republican pretending not to know what Water boarding is. Under what circumstances can making someone think they are drowning to death not be torture?
Alot of people are confused by why Rudy is leading in all the GOP Presidential polls with his long history of being pro-choice, pro-gun control, and pro-gay rights. Other then the fact that he is changing his position on these issues to one extent or another, what I gather Republicans love about Rudy is that he is the most authoritarian of all the candidates. He is the most pro war of the all the Republican candidates( no easy feat), Believes the President should be able to deny any American the right to habeas corpus, and supports "enhanced interrogation." The authoritarian right has found its candidate.
