Maybe we broke KSM by showing him photos of a snarling Rosie and threatening that she would be his cellmate for the rest of his days unless he talked......
What is a "waterboard"? Where is Hussein's waterboard confession? Does his confession match that of the "mastermind"?
Ha! A guy like Mohammed wouldn't lie, would he?
The View has to go off the air. Let's boycott ABC.
I don't think you are. This man does not look like Hugh Grant. Not even close.
Ok KSM. You have had your fun, so in fairness its time for ours. So what we are going to do KSM, is we are going to separate the portion of your body above the torso from that below using our blessed fingers. And until we do that, here is to give you an idea
Even trained CIA operatives cannot last long under this sort of interrogation. Ramzin binalShib lasted about 30 seconds. Khalid Sheik Muhammed lasted about 90.
As far as Saddam Hussien is concerned, I'm not aware that he was ever interrogated using this technique. Since was an enemy Head of State, he would be treated to Geneva Convention protection.
Your point is well taken. But may I note that the Taliban was hosting Al Qaeda before, during and after the 9-11 attacks and refused, flat out refused to turn over Bin Laden or any Al Qaeda.
Iraq on the other hand acted as a host for a terrorist after he completed his mission.
Not quite the same is it?
What makes you convinced of this?
What makes you convinced of this?
Only leftists and ignorant liberals claim there was no communication between Al Qaeda and Iraq's Baathist government in the 90s. That absudity died already although they had the company line that the two could not work together due to their secular and religious fanaticism differences.
Iraq if they had a hand would be careful to not leave direct connections.
They had a very large intelligence organization so the information is out there.
I agree Boycott ABC....I never watch this channel anyway.
He's proud of it....hell's a hot place...that's what he now has to look forward to...
I heard Rosie O' beast telling her audiance about the human trash and all his confessions which led into, you guessed it, how America is tourturing at Gitmo! Maybe she would like a border in her home, Im sure he would be a nice playmate for her kids! Athiest, Communist, American hating SCUM! I can't wait until we can finally say Rosie who?
No, it's not the same at all. Iraq was several orders of magnitude more significant to the global jihad than the Taliban could ever dream of being. The difference between them, in terms of support for terror, is analogous to the difference between the Mexican Mafia and the Felix Cartel in terms of drug trafficking. Iraq was a government with billions in assets and incalculable resources. The Taliban was essentially a street gang running a primitive, borderline-uninhabitable country. And they were entirely reliant on other states for support (one of which was Iraq).
I don't know how to address your underlying premise, that Baghdad was merely some sort of after-the-fact pit-stop for Abdul Yasin. It flies in the face of everything we know about Saddam Husseins, his relationships with terrorists (many of which pre-dated 2/26/93), and the way he ruled that country. The notion that Yasin just lucked out and hit the bull's-eye on the "Where Shall I Flee To?" dartboard after a massive plot to take down both towers of the WTC -- on the anniversary of the Saddam's humiliating defeat in the Gulf War, no less -- is a little beyond my comprehension. I'm not sure what the dictator who issued threats to Americans like "No high tower of steel will protect them against the fire of truth" (Baghdad Radio/February, 1991) ever did to earn this benefit of the doubt that so many are willing to give him. It defies logic and reason.
He's bringing hairy back...
The failed Richard Reid plot, and the successful AA587 crash?
