Now that is a new one, torture made him lie. I thought torture was one of the ways to gain the truth. Granted there are some who will hold out, or lie no matter what BUT that the torture made him LIE, well let's see if folks buy it?

[Former Military Chick]

He says torture made him lie!!

[cgk]

I have no idea but aren't military interrogations taped? Granted, they would not be shown to the public, if they were, but any judge could view them in chambers.

[wagglebee]

They probably made him watch old episodes of "Facts of Life"!

[Former Military Chick]

Oh this guy is grasping for something and it wont work. As you said, they are video taped and if they weren't than we need to fire a bunch of folks.

He is doing this just to get media attention. imho

[Former Military Chick]

Aren't you the clever one. That would be torture for sure. Along with Differnt Strokes and Charles in Charge.

Now that I think about it, they should just turn off the lights, put a black and white TV in the cell and just have rerun's and reruns never stopping. Folks would fess up pretty quick.

[wagglebee]

LOL!

Darn, I knew we should have cut his tongue out after he told us everything we wanted to know.

[Mr. Jazzy]

I tell you, it was those panties on his head! He just wanted to wear them longer!

"... for the first time, TIME.com publishes a secret, 84-page record of his interrogation."


Here they go again publishing "secret" stuff - where is this going to stop ..?? After the NYT is indicted for releasing the NSA secrets ..?? Hopefully .. and it cannot happen soon enough to suit me.

[nopardons]

I'm not buying it.

[oceanview]

page one of the AQ handbook is "if captured, ask for a lawyer and claim the americans tortured you".

who leaked his interrogation transcript? when is someone inside the CIA going to be arrested for these leaks!

[nopardons]

AMEN

[TCats]

"When al-Qahtani got off his plane in Orlando in August 2001, he was refused entry to the U.S., deported."

Should have just flown to Mexico and walked to his waiting ride just beyond the nonexistent fence and Border. Bet they won't overlook this avenue again.

[tallhappy]

This whole thing is crazy.

In WWII Time magazine would be shut down and the publisher dealt with for sedition.

We are not serious at all about the war on terror and let the equivalent of mazi allies "respresent" prisoners of war.

Adios, amigos, it was good while it lasted.

[Solamente]

Thanx a bunch, TIME. Loose lips sink ships, and worse.

If any Freeper has a copy of that rag, please post the advertizers so hopefully we can dissuade TIME with a boycott ala Woopie Goldberg, Bill Maher, and Danny Glover.

[oceanview]

I guess he didn't like the chicken with mixed vegetables that was on the Gitmo menu. that's "abuse".

[softwarecreator]

well let's see if folks buy it

Of course the left will buy it ... if it's something negative about our country or gov't, they'll buy it, no matter how flimsy or questionable.

[Renderofveils]

Adios, amigos, it was good while it lasted.

This is going to be one of those fights that won't end if the U.S. loses. The Jihadis will move from country to country, targeting all those without a backbone to defend themselves against a militant threat. Sadly, I think the only states that are going to have the will to truly fight this battle are the hard-line militant states themselves. China and N Korea spring to mind. Maybe Texas, too. ;)

Shoot him and his lawyer.

Both are terrorists. One for religion and the other for money.
