In surprisingly good English, the captive quietly answers: 'Yes, all thanks to God, I do know when the mujaheddin will, with God's permission, detonate a nuclear weapon in the United States, and I also know how many and in which cities." Startled, the CIA interrogators quickly demand more detail. Smiling his trademark shy smile, the captive says nothing. Reporting the interrogation's results to the White House, the CIA director can only shrug when the president asks: "What can we do to make Osama bin Laden talk?"

So it says something, that even this freak can see the damage that Obama has done to our national security, in his decisions to forswear coercive interrogation & release the interrogation memos.
I guess they can offer him and extra virgin or two? (Might be tough to find in DC, though).
Just finished reading it. Nice literary flair, all the more powerful because it reflects the truth, in the last paragraph.
Put him on a beer-and-Spam only diet.
Gotta get his whacks in at the GOP
Cheeseburger to go, and hold the mayo,...and no pickles! Thank for bringing me to America. Too bad you closed Guantonamo, I really wanted to see it again, but I appreciate the time we spent together! Ali Akbar!
We can see what we must do now.
If waterboarding is banned, can we use dryboarding?
The Washington Compost actually published this? I’m shocked!
Substitute kerosene for water.
Sand instead of good old H2O?
It’s Obama lin Biden that scares me....
The CIA opposed a Bin Laden Desk so they staffed it with F-Troop rejects.
“[H]is party’s left wing and the European pacifists it so admires. Both are incorrigibly anti-American...”
He just called the base of the Democratic Party incorrigibly anti-American. That’s absolutely correct, but the funny thing is this guy is likely a Democrat himself, and there are very few prominent Republicans who would dare make that statement in public. And if it came from a Republican, the Washington Post would be reluctant to print it.
I have a suggestion that can't be considered torture because thousands of women voluntarily undergo this every year.
First we get some Brazilian beauty spa attendants and some hot wax. Then we get Osama ready for thong swimsuit season with a Full Brazilian. I guarantee if we bikini wax some of the high value gitmos we might get Osama's cell phone number and the gps coordinates of his summer cave. I'm just sayin'.
Scheuer lost me at the stupid “unqualified support of Israel” cliche. Otherwise, I don’t see this as an unlikely (certainly not impossible) scenario.
No, Bush wasn’t as bad as Scheuer makes him — at least not of Foreign Policy and war against terrorism. But if the policies of Obama play out, a Terrorist attack becomes likely — even probable. And we will have precious few weapons to prevent attacks from coming.
The DC COMPOST only published it because it had some gratuitous swipes at republicans and Bush. I am so sick of the word ‘bi-partisan’ I could scream....lol!
That particular technique make Christopher Hitchens talk.

Problem is, he never shut up.
You pour that white hot lead up his keister, and he'll sing like Whitney Houston.
“What can we do to make Osama bin Laden talk?”
Lock him in a room with Hillary Clinton, Janet Reno, Nancy Pelosi, Janet Napalitano and Madeline Albright. He will be talking in no time.
He thought his future was with the Leftwingtards because they like to kill babies ~ and he's going to leave all his money to a foundation that kills babies ~ but, it appears he's losing faith in them.
He's lost half his fortune to the Leftwingtards shenanigans and he's PI$$ED.
It's dollars to doughnuts ol' Warren himself ordered up that article.
Put him in a room with Biden and Pelosi. He will be singing like a canary within 2 hours.
Maybe if our cowardly leader smiles and shakes his hand, he will divulge all...
He'll kill babies to get votes but not terrorists to keep the country safe.
LOL.
>He’ll kill babies to get votes but not terrorists to keep the country safe.<
That is because the killing of babies is more popular than the preservation and defense of the country.
Americans should be clear on what Obama has done. In a breathtaking display of self-righteousness and intellectual arrogance, the president told Americans that his personal beliefs are more important than protecting their country, their homes and their families.Actually, we should be clear on what Obama has done and calling it his "personal beliefs" is a bit of a diversion. It probably is his "personal beliefs" but more importantly he's doing what the core of his supporters want him to do.
And that's what we should be clear on. It's not just Obama who wants to sell our country down the river, but a large plurality of our citizens.
If we're not clear on that, we've learned nothing from the disaster of the most recent election.
Sen. John McCain, a man who seems to have forgotten that as a presidential candidate he, more than anyone, persuaded Americans that the interrogation techniques amounted to torture and gloried in calling the CIA and its officers a "rogue institution."Exactly. So to call this "Obama's personal belief" is silly. Our country is mentally ill -- in the R party almost as much as in the D party -- and we need to be clear about that and see that fact clearly.
Tickle him?
“It’s not just Obama who wants to sell our country down the river, but a large plurality of our citizens.”
I hope with all my heart you’re wrong, because of not, that’s the end of the experiment called America.
Rasmussen has a poll saying that 58% of America think that the memo release damaged national security, providing, I suppose, some basis for hope. But what that poll doesn’t measure is intensity of commitment, i.e., to what extent have the 58% really absorbed, in a concrete manner, just how dangerous the release was? And how strongly do they feel about it? And will they do anything about it, or will the next hopey-changey speech cause them to vote the Democratic slate in 2010?
You ask good questions and I think the answers are not intense enough, not deeply absorbed enough, still willing to vote rat next time.
I said “plurality”, I meant to say “large minority”.
30%-40% of our citizens want our country to fail.
Just sayin.
If it was me, ooooboooyy. Nothing is more important than saving lives.
There’s no prohibition in the US Constitution against torture of terrorist aliens.
Additionally, in many cases, it’s morally good to torture these people, because it’s necessary to save lives.
Law, schmaw. No patriotic American intelligence operative is going to squat on his haunches and let an American city get vaporized because the law says something or other. I guarantee you that whoever was leading the interrogation in such a case would take whatever steps were necessary to save a city or cities, and to hell with the consequences. “Is Pittsbugh still there?” “Yeah, Chief, they found it and deactivated it.” “Good. Now call the Langley police. I’m placing myself under arrest for violating the anti-torture law.”
“What can we do?” Maybe tickle his pee-pee with a feather, but it has got to be a soft feather.
