A senior advisor to former US President George W. Bush says he is "proud" of using "harsh interrogation methods" against alleged terror suspects.
"I'm proud that we used techniques that broke the will of these terrorists and gave us valuable information that allowed us to foil plots," Karl Rove said in an interview with BBC on Thursday.
The former deputy chief of staff added that he did not believe simulated drowning, also known as waterboarding, was torture.
