Let's see ... Al Quida is no longer considered a Terrorist, but Conservatives ARE?
Seems to me that we are entering a very dangerous mindset, one that is not safe, being Conservative or Liberal...
It's as if things are redifined based on who is in power as opposed to following the origins of our Constitution.

your grasp of the issue is not very solid.
the techniques used against prisoners held during the bush administration were done following attempts to cleanse its practice. the acts were not legal prior to the bush attempts to allow them, and the bush administrtion went to great lengths in their attempt to somehow legalize their use of this form of torture.
even many of those who worked in the bush administration admit the use of these techniques was and is against our laws and international agreements.
so no, the bush administration did not use "legal ways", they used illegal ways. just because the president says it is legal does not in itself make it so.
that's the issue.
