>Interrogation offer for Bush

議員出錢給布什'用水刑'

Rod Driver, a Democratic representative, has said he will donate $100 to charity for every second former President George W. Bush withstands waterboarding, a notorious interrogation technique, the Daily Telegraph said Thursday. He also included former vice-president Dick Cheney and ex-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in the pledge. The Bush administration has denied waterboarding is a form of torture.(See photo)

據英國《每日電訊報》21日報道，美國民主黨議員羅德·德瑞弗向前總統布什發出"挑戰信"，表示如果布什親自體驗臭名昭著的"水刑"，每堅持1秒鐘，他愿意為慈善捐出100美元。這封"挑戰信"還同時向前副總統切尼和前國務卿賴斯寄出。布什政府此前否認"水刑"是酷刑。(見圖)
