Former US President George W Bush has defended waterboarding suspected terrorists, in his memoir. He says it saved British and American lives.

In a passionate debate, Nicky Campbell hears from Stacy Hilliard, the vice chair of Republicans Abroad, and Major General Tim Cross, the most senior British officer responsible for post-war planning for the Iraq War and deployed to the country immediately after the invasion in 2003.
