QuoteOne of Stephen Bradbury’s 2005 memos asserted that “enhanced techniques” on Zubaydah yielded the identification of Mohammed and an alleged radioactive bomb plot by Jose Padilla. But FBI supervisory special agent Ali Soufan, who interrogated Zubaydah from March to June 2002, wrote in the New York Times that Zubaydah produced that information under traditional interrogation methods, before the harsh techniques were ever used. Why, then, the relentless waterboarding of these two men? It turns out that high Bush officials put heavy pressure on Pentagon interrogators to get Mohammed and Zubaydah to reveal a link between Saddam Hussein and the 9/11 hijackers, in order to justify Bush’s illegal and unnecessary invasion of Iraq in 2003 according to the newly released report of the Senate Armed Services Committee. That link was never established. http://www.alternet.org/rights/139439/prosecute_this%3A_torture_was_used_to_try_to_link_saddam_with_9_11/?page=entirestay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the title of the thread should be 'Waterboarding was used to further interrogate two terrorists that had previously provided useful information.' Good to see you're reading a neutral news source. That aricle was posted right next to "40 more years; how the dems will rule the next generation." -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
