WASHINGTON -- CIA interrogators waterboarded an Al Qaeda prisoner 183 times, according to a 2005 Justice Department legal memo, and another prisoner 83 times, the New York Times reported on Monday.
Quoting the CIA inspector general in a 2004 investigation, the memo from May 30, 2005 says interrogators used the waterboard at least 83 times during August 2002 against Abu Zubaydah, a high-ranking member of Al Qaeda and close associate of Usama bin Laden, the Times said.
In March 2003, the controlled method of simulated drowning was used on Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the admitted mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans, 183 times.
The Times said some copies of the memos appeared to have the number of waterboardings redacted while others did not.
More than 100 harsh interrogation methods were used on Mohammed, causing some CIA officers to question if the legal limit had been crossed, the Times previously reported in 2007.

“Waterboarding? That ain’t nothing.”
LOL! “I’m about to go Medieval on yo’ a$$!”
Anyone that accepts this as a interrogation method, should have no issue with the next American POW being subjected to the same methods.
Like Rush said today, this is crazy. There’s no way they did it that many times. It’s over 6 times a day. It’s a lie.
It is a bit easier than having their freaking heads cut off.
I think that I will go read the thread now that I have responded to your insipid post.
Amen.
Great post, great tag.
So your fine with Waterboarding of US POW’s as long their freaking heads are not cut off.
Do you enjoy twisting what I said around?
We water boarded a few terrorists and they lived to talk about it.
They cut off the heads of their POWs and they lived to...oh wait....never mind.
