Candidates for nomination (2012) spar over "Torture definition" and "Waterboarding" of detained suspects

from the Nov. 12 CBS News & National Journal sponsored TV broadcast debate from Wofford College, South Carolina (8 - 9 p.m. Eastern )

Cain, along with Michele Bachmann, said he supports the use of waterboarding, which Cain said isn't torture but an "enhanced interrogation technique." Paul disagreed, saying "waterboarding is torture" and "torture is illegal" under both U.S. and international law as well as "immoral." Jon Huntsman sided with Paul, saying waterboarding is torture and the U.S. abdicates its values by engaging in it.
