DOJ Had Prosecuted Texas Sheriff For Waterboarding Prisoners

In 1983, the Justice Department prosecuted a Texas sheriff and three of his deputies for waterboarding prisoners to get them to confess to crimes.

The deputies were sentenced to four years in prison and the sheriff got a 10-year sentence. Yet that case is not cited in the torture memos DOJ released that authorized the CIA to waterboard detainees
