Nice ditty's coming out of what Obama released of the CIA papers reveals that waterboarding of al Qaeda leader Khalid Sheik Mohammed saved a 9/11 Second Wave from happening in LA. After he was subjected to the “waterboard” technique, KSM became cooperative, providing intelligence that led to the capture of key al Qaeda allies and, eventually, the closing down of an East Asian (Indonesia)terrorist cell that had been tasked with carrying out the 9/11-style attack on Los Angeles.
In my mind, you have to fight fire with fire. Do whatever it takes to keep our country safe.
