Think Progress » Gingrich On Whether Waterboarding Is Torture: ‘I Can’t Tell You’
On Friday, Fox News's Greta Van Susteren interviewed former House speaker Newt Gingrich regarding President Obama's recent release of Bush-era OLC torture memos. Throughout the interview, Gingrich tried to sit on the fence of the torture debate -- saying, for example, that "releasing the documents last week was a big mistake" but also saying "I want to see the United States run the risk, at times, of not learning certain things in order to establish a standard for civilization."
