It's more likely like this...since those that were there should know...
JEFFREY: Waterboarding saved L.A. - Washington Times
. "Indeed, before the CIA used enhanced techniques in its interrogation of KSM, he resisted giving any answers to questions about future attacks, simply noting, 'Soon, you will know.' "
After he was waterboarded, KSM provided the CIA with information that enabled the U.S. government to close down a terror cell already "tasked" with flying a jet into a building in Los Angeles.
"You have informed us that the interrogation of KSM - once enhanced techniques were employed - led to the discovery of a KSM plot, the 'Second Wave,' 'to use East Asian operatives to crash a hijacked airliner into' a building in Los Angeles," the memo says, referring to information the CIA provided to the Justice Department.
FBI: Key Sept. 11 Leads Obtained Without Torture : NPR
Any independent verification of the CIA's claims? Ooops....no...they destroyed key videotapes didn't they?![]()
The memo is from the DOJ, not the fucking CIA, libtard. Blair Obama's director of intelligence claims the enhanced interrogations provided useful intell.
Sweetheart, you need to calm down. You're overheating your brain. Turn on the fan, unplug the vents.
The DoJ became a political echo chamber for the Bush Administration. Why should I believe anything they claim when their job was to make a case for torture? I don't care what Blair says - since much of the evidence (in the form of videotapes) was destroyed - there isn't much of anything to verify those claims.
It also doesn't answer the important issues regarding the use of torture. Yes, torture does - at times - provide real info. But much more often it doesn't. It is also difficult to tell whether the iinformation given is valid or not valid and except for hypothetical situations - you are seldom sure the person you are torturing has what you want.
So, does the possibility that 1 person can provide some info justify torturing the other 99 innocent people who don't? Ah, a slippery slope....
