Did he run this article today to get a head start on the Sabbath Gasbag Circuit? Maybe knock some other issue (*cough* Obama's oil spill) off the top billing?
Or what?
When all that’s fit to print about their pet pretender is bad news, they fall back to irrelevant Bush Bashing. Lazy Libtards.
Once again, referring to interrogation techniques as torture is simply another attempt by cowards to remove an effective tool from the arsenal of freedom.
If reality reflected the irrational beliefs of these morons, I just might possibly sympathize with their positions, but I don’t see that happening in my lifetime.
Different people have different threshholds; good information was obtained from others using waterboarding.
I’d like to see investigative reporters look into the Kenyan’s background. College transcripts, details about his senate campaigns, drugs, his birth certificate, ACORN association, Bill Ayres, and other misfits he ran with.
One of the first things Obama did was stipulate that “enhanced” interrogations would be done by a group that answered directly to him.
Which sound like he is continuing the Bush policy.
WAPO. Harumph. That’s all I need to know...end of story.
Meaning .. that the admin didn't want people to know how successful the program had been. Cheney even said that the info given by one of the high-up terrorists WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN DISMANTLING SEVERAL OTHER PLOTS AGAINST AMERICA.
These people are just appeasers .. and they always will be .. it's just more of “... if we're nice to the terrorists, then they will be required to be nice to us.”
You can't get much more ignorant than that!!!
The article reads:
In the end, though, not a single significant plot was foiled as a result of Abu Zubaida’s tortured confessions, according to former senior government officials who closely followed the interrogations.
So who are these “former senior government officials who closely followed the interrogations”?
And what does “closely followed the interrogations” mean?
The author’s analysis and conclusions are bunk. The DOJ will not declassify the documents that prove exactly which AQ plots were foiled and how many American lives were saved as result of the Bush-Cheney policies. Until those documents are released, everything else is mere speculation and politically motivated.
Release the proof, if you dare ...
This article is getting kinda' old.
BTW, for what it's worth, Froomkin has not had anything published under his byline since that time.
Another "postie" of note, Dana Priest, hasn't had anything published under her byline for quite some time as well.
Things are afoot at the WarshPost ~ strange things, secret things, people coming and going, just disappearing without notice of any kind.
Just waiting for it to IMPLODE.
Then I guess we didn’t torture ‘em hard enough.
Next time we need to use hot irons and dentist drills...
Still lying about Bush?? Get over it, MSM.
Today is not the “Publish Date” of the article. This was published March 30, 2009. “Tomorrow” happened over a year ago.
I believe that a lot of spying, torture and its approximations, sneaky attacks, assassinations, lying, payoffs and so forth went on that the public will never be aware of, and what we’re told by “authoritative sources” is likely to be intentionally or unintentionally wrong.
Here’s my view. Middle Eastern bad guys attacked us. We smacked them with an Iraq invasion and are still over there smacking. End of story. I’m happy.
The lack of common sense by Finn and Warrick is another good example of why the propaganda machines are running on air. First they can prove nothing but they can put together a selected string empty claims and relationships after the fact.
They are stuck on "stupid" because they obsessed with Bush; why are they so focused on the past? I can understand that if they are Democrats because they have no foundation, repressive Utopian goals, and disordered minds to boot.
Compost, ROFL.
