The CIA on three occasions shortly after the September 11 attacks used a widely condemned interrogation technique known as waterboarding, CIA Director Michael Hayden told Congress on Tuesday.

"Waterboarding has been used on only three detainees," Hayden told the Senate Intelligence Committee, publicly specifying the number of subjects and naming them for the first time, as Congress considers banning the technique.

The CIA admits to torturing three people. Of course it's a lie, but they admit to three. Ok, that's three crimes against humanity, with who knows how many others to be revealed at a later date. It's gonna happen. Just like in Falluja (aka the neo-Guernica) when the US military swore on fifty stacks of Bibles that they didn't use white phosphorous, until there was evidence produced to prove they were liars...then they admitted it...only after evidence was produced that made it so they could no longer lie. This is SOP.

The CIA are the bastard stepchildren of the Third Reich, so big surprise that they use "enhanced interrogation" methods, just like, and in exactly the same words as, they're godfathers in the Third Reich. Same phrase. Torture as "enhanced interrogation" in the Fatherland, and now in the Homeland. There is a clear trail from Nazi "middle management" to the OSS/CIA...why do you think the CIA has broken the law for so long on FOIA requests, that legally require them to reveal their historical documents? They won't release them, because they reveal the collusion with the anti-communist Germans after WW2. They won't reveal them, because, among others, HW Bush would be revealed as the monster he is...and his father Prescott, was. The Bush family has a long history of brutality, racism and eugenics.

And Field Marshall Hayden is just one more in a long line of criminals to hold that position.

Three war crimes. That's not so bad, right?

Twenty-one years earlier, in 1947, the United States charged a Japanese officer, Yukio Asano, with war crimes for carrying out another form of waterboarding on a U.S. civilian. The subject was strapped on a stretcher that was tilted so that his feet were in the air and head near the floor, and small amounts of water were poured over his face, leaving him gasping for air until he agreed to talk.

"Asano was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) told his colleagues last Thursday during the debate on military commissions legislation. "We punished people with 15 years of hard labor when waterboarding was used against Americans in World War II," he said.

I think waterboarding was used on the guy in the photo because that was the only way to wake him up. He looks exactly like the dorm roommate I had in 1982 on any given Sunday.

Jerry? Is that you?

Anyway, of course there were only 3 people it was used on.

One of them was the Number 2 guy in Al Queda. Same guy, just waterboarded and killed about 70 times since 2002.

Three crimes against humanity...... One would be tragic and lessen us in the eyes of the world. Three is 300 times worse. It's sickening.

For those of you who BELEVE that number: Look at these video: (note - it's disturbing) These are Ohio Police officers and a woman who was the VICTIM of a crime.
