That is false...Although I know how you liberals take the NYTimes as Gospel itself, they lied here:
"The New York Times reported last week that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, was waterboarded 183 times in one month by CIA interrogators. The "183 times" was widely circulated by news outlets throughout the world.
It was shocking. And it was highly misleading. The number is a vast inflation, according to information from a U.S. official and the testimony of the terrorists themselves.
A U.S. official with knowledge of the interrogation program told FOX News that the much-cited figure represents the number of times water was poured onto Mohammed's face -- not the number of times the CIA applied the simulated-drowning technique on the terror suspect. According to a 2007 Red Cross report, he was subjected a total of "five sessions of ill-treatment."

They were effective enough that KSM started giving classes to CIA after he was, as he put it, freed from his obligation to remain silent....
If waterboarding is that horrible (I don't know, I've never been waterboarded), it's hard to believe it took 180+ times to get him to talk. I'd only have to be tortured once to talk.
