The Political Elite

Via Crooks and Liars: From C-SPAN’s Washington Journal, torture monger Marc Thiessen claims that waterboarding is not torture and that it worked because Abu Zubaydah, who was waterboarded 83 times in one month, thanked his interrogator after the fact and said “you must do this for all the brothers” and that a “moral burden” was lifted from his shoulders to resist talking during his interrogation.

I’m not sure what is going on with the Hoover Institute at Stanford, but the folks affiliated with that group, like Theissen, have the most dogmatically neoconservative world views of anyone on television, with a total disregard for facts or honest reporting. - schultzbk
