Donald Trump certainly isn't trying to hedge on whether he'd support using waterboarding to combat terrorism.

Quite the contrary.

"I would bring back waterboarding," he said Saturday night at a Republican debate in New Hampshire. "And I would bring back a hell of a lot worse."

Ted Cruz, meanwhile, who's also known for his hawkish language on the campaign trail — he's fond of saying he'd "carpet bomb" the Islamic State — said he didn't think waterboarding was, by definition, torture. But he added that he wouldn't bring it back in any "widespread" fashion.
