Thought you might like this article located here: https://right-thoughts.us/index.php/weblog/comments/cia_waterboarding_used_three_times/ CIA waterboarding used three times A lot of people have talked a lot of crap about waterboarding over the past couple of years.  Too bad the entire conversation was already moot. The CIA used a widely condemned interrogation technique known as waterboarding on three suspects captured after the Sept. 11 attacks, CIA Director Michael Hayden told Congress on Tuesday. ”Waterboarding has been used on only three detainees,” Hayden told the Senate Intelligence Committee. It was the first time a U.S. official publicly specified the number of people subjected to waterboarding and named them. ... Those subjected to waterboarding were suspected Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and senior al Qaeda leaders Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, Hayden said at the Senate hearing on threats to the United States. He said waterboarding has not been used in five years. Emphasis mine. To all of you who have used over-the-top rhetoric to condemn your friends and family that didn’t give a shit about this issue: these are the three lowlifes over whom you were alienating your friends.  Three of the worst scum on the planet.  Random Iraqi innocents were not being scooped off the street and taken to Gitmo where they suffered daily waterboarding for the enjoyment of the staff.  Bush wasn’t personally waterboarding any swinging dick that happen to get caught in a raid, unlike the hysterical rantings of some bloggers would have you believe. Three scumbags, back in 2001-2002 when it was actually thought there might be a ticking bomb in the form of another massive terrorist attack.  We all had to read all that hysterical nonsense over three of the worst terrorists around. All that hysteria.  Turns out, the issue was over before it started. Hat tip: DrewM at Ace’s, who has links to info about the three scumbags, and a commenter-inspired ironic observation: more protesters and media members subjected themselves to waterboarding than the CIA did terrorists.
