Khalid Shaikh Mohammed Says He Lied To CIA Under Torture

Los Angeles Times:

Reporting from Washington -- Accused Sept. 11 organizer Khalid Shaikh Mohammed told U.S. military officials that he gave false information to the CIA even after undergoing punishing bouts of interrogation, according to documents made public Monday.

His claim will probably intensify the debate over the George W. Bush administration's use of harsh techniques to gain information from terrorism suspects.

Torture sure gives pertinent information huh conservajerks?

Sorry, the air has been let out of your balloon! Enjoy your free-fall to earth.

I wonder if anyone asked KSM who his handler was in Manila in 1994-1995?

[whocan]

Oh Khalid, evidently your info did help prevent further attacks on the US since then

[OhComeOnNow]

"No, it works, really! It kept us safe!!!!", sez Cheney-squared, and the Shrub.

[danonchalant1]

KSM lied under torture to help establish a link between Al Qaeda and Saddam. Wasn't that the point?

[gladys46]

Exactly !

[Coinyer101]

Doesn't matter. This administration and this DOJ, are doing everything they can to avoid doing their jobs ,on this issue. I will consider this administration complicit, if this continues.

I've always been amazed that no one has questioned the legitimacy of Bush's claim that this guy was the 'mastermind' of 9-11. It always sounded far too convenient to me. And now that we know Bush/Cheney got this info from torture, it makes it even more suspect.

Lying under torture-- just what Bush/Cheney wanted. I did it! I am connected to Saddam! What else do you want me to say?

[WorkingClass]

Only idiots believe Bush's lies. There are millions of idiots in this country. Under torture for information you don't have, you make something up. Duh.

elmoor KSM admitted to it during his hearing

If t0rture worked why is OBL still trotting about????? W's D.I.C.K can't seem to answer that one.

Maybe we should hold Lizzy accountable also......­.obviously she was more involved with the memo's than Congress, since she seems to "know" what's in them and not Congress..­......

Did she have top security clearances to know that "t0rture worked" W.T.F???

[LeeCalif]

And who wouldn't lie under torture ?

President George W. Bush described Abu Zubaida in 2002 as "al-Qaeda's chief of operations­."

He was waterboarded 83 times.

Intelligence, military and law enforcement sources told The Washington Post this year that officials later concluded he was a Pakistan-based "fixer" for radical Islamist ideologues, but not a formal member of al-Qaeda, much less one of its leaders.

This is HUGE news.

Guess that is why there is nothing on and TV channel about it.

[yankees]

Sure and Bobby Bonds and Mark McGuire didn't take steroids.

[jdlund]

Who the heck is Bobby Bonds?

[yakaria]

He mistook Bobby Bonds for Barry Bonds. Bobby Bonds is Barry Bonds' father.

Those who choose to believe and trust the ter 00r ists, should go to where they live. I choose to stand with our CIA....tho­se are the people I trust.

[gladys46]

[HatingTheGame]

Until they slip you some acid and photograph you with prostitutes.

[Everymanic]

But don't worry, since you are a friend of the 'family', we can take care of such unpleasant­ries....al­l we ask is for a story about al qaeda in Iraq....wh­ew, it's a good thing we were around....­not everyone would be so understanding http://republicindrag.blogspot.com/

[leftcoastindy]

Would that be the CIA that told Bush there was no evidence of Iraq seeking yellowcake, the one that said they had NO solid evidence of WMD in the fall of '02, or the one that says torture is illegal and doesn't work?

[greg32]

Of course liberals will now see KSM as a victim, because, hey, of course he's telling the truth...he is simply a peace loving soul who would never do anything harm to Americans, Bush had to be the one who blew up the towers...b­lah, blah, blah...

[gladys46]

Sophomoric !!

[gino618]

Gee, that still puts that post about 5 grade levels above most of the contributors here

[MaxBob]

RELEASE THE MEMOS! Heh.

[MaxBob]
