"Of course in reporting the interrogation story, the Times played up the conflict between the FBI and the CIA big but buried the lead. In the final two paragraphs of the lengthy report, the importance of the Chili Pepper story emerges. Times reporter David Johnston quotes yet another anonymous "government official" as saying: "the fact of the matter is that Abu Zubaydah was defiant and evasive until the approved procedures were used. He soon began to provide information on key Al Qaeda operators to help us find and capture those responsible for the 9/11 attacks."
That sounds like a good thing to me, but I do have some advice for the CIA the next time around: Use Ludacris and you'll get bin Laden."

The liberals seem to forget that the purpose of interrogation is to get information. Any means that elicits information from terrorists that can prevent terror attacks and lead to the elimination of other terrorists should be permitted. The choice is the comfort of the terrorists vs. innocent American lives.
What would the American people choose?
I remember "red hot torture" Taliban style. A video of some poor bloke who IIRC thought of adultery, was to be punished by having to lick a red hot spoon. No human can make oneself do this...until the barrel of an AK-47 taps you head. He did - and no fake sizzling sounds were added - all authentic.
I'm convinced the libs would welcome a mushroom cloud over an American city if they could blame Bush and subsequently win an election.
No, they remember that very well. That is why they want to prevent it. Success for Bush is failure for them.
The Democrat Party has been taken over by the left. Liberal is just a name they fled to when Communist became too discredited by history. They are now fleeing from liberal to progressive. No matter their name lies and deception is their game and world domination their ultimate goal. We are all that stand in their way.
About 10 years ago, a critter got into the wall next to our kitchen. You could hear the scratching and our cats were going nuts. Then my wife set the boom box next to the wall, turned on a rap station, cranked the volume all the way up, took the cats and left for 2 hours (I was at work). When she came back the critter had departed - she didn't even need a cold pack.
