He draws attention to the fact that the Bush administration admits to consenting to the practice of waterboarding and that this form of torture is a severe criminal offense in the United States. In order for democracy to prevail, the law makers cannot be the law breakers (Horton, 2008). This is the most important of Horton’s arguments.
