So it would appear Cheney’s assertion that “it worked” is not working for intelligence and counter-terrorism official who saw the reports. Another trumped-up pile of BS brought to you by the Dick? So it seems…
via U.S. officials slam Dick Cheney’s claim that waterboarding 9/11 mastermind 183 times was a ‘success’.
“Cheney is full of crap,” one intelligence source with decades of experience said Tuesday.
Another retired counterterrorism official who read reports when they arrived in Washington detailing the confessions of Mohammed, known as “KSM,” said most of the information he coughed up during the waterboarding sessions involved things he thought his CIA-contract interrogators already knew, or were just his ideas for mayhem.
“Most of the (cables) were reports of actions that KSM was only remotely thinking of undertaking – they didn’t even reach the planning stage,” the retired counterterrorism official said. “So it’s a bit of a stretch for Bush administration officials to say these were attacks they had disrupted.”
