议员出钱给布什'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)

据英国《每日电讯报》21日报道，美国民主党议员罗德·德瑞弗向前总统布什发出"挑战信"，表示如果布什亲自体验臭名昭著的"水刑"，每坚持1秒钟，他愿意为慈善捐出100美元。这封"挑战信"还同时向前副总统切尼和前国务卿赖斯寄出。布什政府此前否认"水刑"是酷刑。(见图)
