Waterboarding Used 266 Times on Two Detainees
Sickening, and done in our names. Read The New York Times.
Yesterday I wrote that comparisons to Nazis were hyperbole. I still agree, but. Two suspects, Abu Zubaydah, was waterboarded 83 times (he was known to be crazy, had been cooperative, and was also known not to be a high placed al Qaeda operative) and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed,the purported mastermind of the September 11 attacks, was waterboarded 183 times.
This is torture. This is disgusting. This is what George Washington refused to do when British soldiers were captured, back when we were first becoming a country. How could we allow Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld--and their lackey lawyers Jay Bybee, John Yoo, and Steven Bradbury-- to destroy over two hundred years of history?
