CIA waterboarding 'was torture'
Updated on 16 April 2009
The US State Department's former number two said the practice of waterboarding terror suspects was torture.
He said he hoped he would have had the courage to resign had he known the CIA was using the interrogation technique.
But Richard Armitage, the deputy secretary of state during the Bush administration, told Al Jazeera English television he did not believe CIA officials who took part in waterboarding and other forms of harsh interrogation should be prosecuted.
