The relevance is in the fact that there can be a fine line between theoretical judgments and practical guidelines. If Will addresses the basic essence of the questions, at the margins how is he going to be different than the people in the Bush justice department? He will use his interpretation of how he understands the law and waterboarding and try to give me guidance. the obvious direction of my questioning leads to the fact that at some point someone with a lower tolerance than his can sit in judgment of his interpretation. Should he then be subject to prosecution? Should I, for following his guidance?
