    That's the one that was shown to be bogus. I guess I had the wrong guy as well.

    The truth is that all the information from Zubaydah happened with traditional rapport building techniques.

    Once the CIA started using waterboarding and torture, all of the useful information stopped.

    The fact is that rapport building method were already working and no waterboarding was needed.

    Ridiculous, if Cheney was so great at preventing terrorists attacks, we would have never had 9/11.

    I guess you didn't read the article then.

    I'll summarize. The CIA guy didn't break him in 35 seconds. They guy had already been interrogated by the FBI and the information had already been retrieved from him.

    Once the CIA found out they got mad and thought he should be tortured. So they sent in their torture guys.

    The Bush Junta FUD tactic was old and useless by 2005.

    Blasphemy! 19 cavemen with box cutters who hate us for our freedom hijacked 4 planes without any interference from our $500 billion defense system. There weren't military exercises being held that morning which involved the simulation of planes being hijacked. Cheney knew nothing and is not directly tied to corporations that profited from 9/11 and the Iraq war. You hate America.

    public service announcement: when a government uses scare tactics on its own people, something extremely bad is about to happen and/or they're trying to use fear to take away more of your rights. I'm fairly confident there will be a big terrorist attack on US soil either this year or next, and I hate to speculate who will really be behind it.

    There was a really interesting NOVA on the otherday that shows the NSA had phone calls from terrorists and a BinLaden associate on tape and transcribed yet did nothing with the information.
