Bush vetoes interrogation limitsSaturday, 8 March 2008 - BBC
US President George Bush says he has vetoed legislation that would stop the CIA using
interrogation methods such as simulated drowning or "water-boarding".
He said he rejected the intelligence bill, passed by Senate and Congress, as it took
"away one of the most valuable tools in the war on terror".
The president said the CIA needed "specialised interrogation procedures" that the military did not.
Water-boarding is condemned as torture by rights groups and many governments.
It is an interrogation method that puts the detainee in fear of drowning.
