CIA says used waterboarding three times

The CIA on three occasions shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks used a widely condemned interrogation technique known as waterboarding, CIA Director Michael Hayden told Congress on Tuesday.

"Waterboarding has been used on only three detainees," Hayden told the Senate Intelligence Committee, publicly specifying the number of subjects and naming them for the first time, as Congress considers banning the technique.

Those subjected to waterboarding were al Qaeda suspects Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, Hayden said.

 

Itwas used then because of concerns of imminent catastrophic attacks on the United States and because authorities had limited knowledge of al Qaeda.

Ok, I'll admit it, I'm going to have a pretty unpopular opinion on this matter.  But I owe you all the truth about what I think and feel, so I'd rather be honest and accept the hate mail, then lie and know you're not getting the real deal.  So here goes:

 

I don't care that these three "men" were waterboarded.

If Khalid Mohammed was indeed the mastermind of September 11th, I don't care if the CIA peels his skin off with a dull rock.  I want to show you what Khalid did:

So you'll have to forgive me if I don't give a shit if this guy thought he was going to drown for all of 2 minutes.  These people thought they were going to die, and they did die, for upwards of an hour.  So fuck him.

 

Let Khalid know the pain that was caused by him and his whacked out ideas of religion.  Enjoy your stay in Guantanamo, you're never getting out.
