In response to GOP candidate Donald Trump's plans to bring back waterbording and other torture if he's elected president, former CIA director Michael Hayden said Trump would have to bring his "own damn bucket."
Hayden first uttered the line in a Showtime documentary and repeated it to NBC News: "Like the man said, if you want somebody waterboarded, bring your own damn bucket."
Both current and former CIA officials have agreed with Hayden's sentiments, saying the agency feels so burned by what happened when its post 9/11 interrogation program was exposed that it would refuse any such orders.
Trump said Wednesday in South Carolina that the U.S. should go "much stronger" when it comes to using torture, saying that not only waterboarding, but stronger methods of torture should be implemented.
