re: #5 simoom

It’s a very murky picture. Details are sketchy and there are so many hypothetical variables. I still tend to think that KSM was broken by waterboarding and probably would not have cooperated without it. We probably benefited a lot from the information he gave up after being broken. Even though we may not continue to waterboard people we now turn them over to people who use other similar techniques and we still benefit from the information gleaned from enhanced interrogations. It’s a dirty little secret that a lot of people don’t like to think about.
