Pamela Hess reports from The Associated Press: "The nation's intelligence chief says waterboarding 'would be torture' if used against him or if someone under interrogation actually was taking water into his lungs. But Mike McConnell, in a magazine interview, declined for legal reasons to say whether the technique categorically should be considered torture. 'If it ever is determined to be torture, there will be a huge penalty to be paid for anyone engaging in it,' McConnell told The New Yorker, which published a 16,000-word article Sunday on the director of national intelligence."
