Re: CIA Confirms: Waterboarding 9/11 Mastermind Led to Info that Aborted 9/11-Style A
The CIA who says that is the same CIA who says KSM provided intelligence that foiled a plot on the Liberty Tower in 2002, even though KSM wasn't even captured until 2003. Not saying they're lying about getting info from KSM via waterboarding, just saying they could be since they lied about his information having disrupted the LA plot.
You are right. The assertions originated from the CIA, and Bush simply repeated what he got from them which is understandable. So I would like to retract and rephrase what I said to this:Objectively I have no idea why you are dragging "Team Bush" into clear cut declassified memos.

No, I'm saying the CIA is lying when they say KSM provided intelligence that thwarted the Liberty Tower attack, because KSM wasn't even in their custody when that plot was thwarted.Are you saying once a target has been cleared it wont ever be attacked or targeted again? If it was targeted in 2001 it was never going to be attacked again? That really does not sound accurate.
I don't want to derail the thread into another "Bush lied, no he didn't" circle jerk, but I believe strongly that he was not completely honest on a variety of issues, not just terrorism. At any rate, I shouldn't have even mentioned Bush because it's the CIA making these assertions. My fault!Cried wolf?
Terrorist Attacks
(within the United States or against Americans abroad)
