Amnesty International Wants Bush Prosecuted for Admitted Waterboarding

Plus 1500 plus similar stories.

Now why would this reignite the use of waterboarding if it did not play a key role.

I didn't bother to post Cheney's comments on the likelihood because I didn't want the comment to pop your head off.

.

Stories don't equal fact. I gave your fact. You article states clearly that immates started giving information in 2007. The fact is torture stopped in 2006. Stories don't change that. And Cheney has been proven wrong before. He stated torture of KSM proved intel that stopped the second 9/11, which was stopped before we even captured KSM. I understand the desire to accept the proposition that torture works and saves all, but you can changed the facts to do it. You need more than stories and vague claims. You need factual and verifiable information.

So, to review, fact, your soruce says they started giving information in 2007. Fact, torture stopped in 2006.

Maybe by that time all they needed to do was threaten the water board again, and the coward spilled it....but a larger argument would be what if KSM would have been tried as you libs wanted prior to 2006, and under rules that you will admit couldn't be submitted he was set free. We wouldn't have that information either. Good thing Obama keeps Gitmo open isn't it?

That's speculation, but as they were asking the question while they were doing it, and didn;t get (posted links on that earlier), it makes that kind of doubtful.

And there was no case he be set free. But more interestingly is that you would not blame the person who so badly violated the law to make trying and obeying rule all difficult for this. you seem quite willing to accept illegal acts, even immoral acts.
 
he didn't talk

they eit'd him

his spirit was broken

he began to cooperate, and to an extraordinary extent, conducting terrorist tutorials and becoming langley's preeminent source

that's when sheikh abu was first known

those are the facts---according to THE CIA INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT AS RELEASED IN 2009 BY THE DEPT OF JUSTICE

So, you have nothing. Is grow your tag amiision line that you have nothing? :coffeepap
 
LOL, the phrase "arguing with a fence post" comes to mind.

The only way Obama got this done was by transforming himself into a card-carrying conservative Republican.
