HA! It is coming out that it was not waterboarding that tipped Security to OBL's courier.

It was that when KSM was asked about this individual he downplayed this courier's connections.

And who did I hear this from? Catherine Herridge.... Homeland Security correspondent for FAUX.
I'm listing to Shep.

If anything, waterboarding may have played a very small part. It was KSM's response to that question that made our Security suspicious.


(edit to add - You can be certain Shepard Smith will be the only place you will hear about this on faux.)

2. Yet another FAIL for xCommander AWOL Bush & Chickenhawk RepubliCronies (R)

The Republicon Chickenhawks are just going to have to suck it up, and deal with the facts of their lie-based Oil Profits Crusade, and their utter FAIL with regard to bin Laden (unless you count George AWOL Bush's successfully intimate profit thingy with the rest of bin Laden's Saudi family). Always rememember, virtually all the 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia (none whatsoever from Iraq).

3. The fact Bin Laden had couriers wasn't learned by torture.

None of the leaders use phones or the internet because they can be traced. They all use couriers, and the CIA knew that before torturing KSM. So actually, they learned nothing new from the torture.

5. Smart people know torture doesn't do shit

except fulfill the sick, depraved needs of the torturer.

6. I'd be more likely to offer useful information in return for oral sex than under torture.

I'm just saying, in case I'm ever captured by someone.

7. The suggestion of oral sex is a very powerful negotiating tool.
