I wouldn’t assume that Hitchen’s writings are a complete record of his views. I remember him being a regular (and fiery!) TV guest during this period, often arguing in defense of military intervention on the basis that radical Islam is an evil worth fighting against. It’s possible that he argued in favor of waterboarding in one of these many appearances.
Yes, I did watch some of his interviews on related subjects, but couldn’t find any relevant statements one way or the other. But I couldn’t watch all that many; as Gwern points out above, many were probably not recorded.
