Cia released a statement saying it was thoroughly investigated by the justice department in 2010 and announced it would not pursue any charges related to this matter and worth noting at that time the enhance interrogation techniques were not illegal and following orderers, of course now the law bans torture. >> thank you. a brand new cnn poll, with jobs approval rating by the president.

Trump has indicated hes willing to defer to the people hes appoint, in some capacity. we know on general mattis, whatever he says on enhanced interrogation techniques, that stands. ill defer to him. so is this a deference? saying, nikki haley is who i appointed to this position, ill defer to her in this regard. we didnt see president trump come out and rebuff anything shes said. this is someone who is his employee, and we didnt see him rebut her, so to me it shows deference. >> youre absolutely ...

In 2008, on the senate floor, he praised a prior attorney general for refusing to rule out the use of waterboarding in the future and claimed enhanced interrogation techniques were necessary to stop additional terrorist plots. specifically, he stated, and i quote, im glad attorney general mukasey is able to say waterboarding was utilized only three times and that it had not been used in five years. but i am glad he also said he would not say it would never be done again, end quote. thats not tru...

Miserable, exhausted end of which robert said the words he cannot take back. >> you stabbed that woman. >> i stabbed her. >> you had stabbed her, didnt you? >> one or two times. >> most people would say, i would never, ever, in a million years confess. >> or how could you be so stupid and not know, you know. >> uh-huh. >> i was young. i didnt know. i was naive. i was scared. >> robert is not alone, of course. there are people like him in situations just like his in jails and prisons around the c...

In my entire time covering very closely this issue with vice president cheney and george w. bush who were those that essentially signed off on waterboarding, i never heard them so karly interchange the word torture with waterboarding or enhanced interrogation. donald trump used them interchangeably. he used that word torture and started with that and advocate torture himself. that has not happened to my knowledge from a u.s. president in our history. and its a remarkable moment. i think it creat...

Bad idea. experts add that trumps recent comments on mexico have led to a steep drop in the value of the peso. trump also talked torture today. despite the smoke poured for harsh interrogation techniques like waterboarding, he said hee would defer to defense secretary mattis. >> so im going to rely on him. i feel that it does work, i felt that way for long period of time.i but im going with our leaders. >> theresa may said that she also condemns torture and would make that clear to president tru...
