According to Kiriakou, based on what he had been
told by the CIA, it had taken only a single brief instance of
waterboarding to extract answers to an interrogator's questions from Abu
Zubaydah....
He was able to withstand the waterboarding for
quite some time. And by that I mean probably 30, 35 seconds... and a
short time afterwards, in the next day or so, he told his interrogator
that Allah had visited him in his cell during the night and told him to
cooperate.
Eventually it became known that Abu Zubaydah had in fact been
waterboarded at least 83 times, and that little or no useful extra
information may have been gained by "harsh methods".
The only Fed to be convicted and sent to jail for torture was the one
official who didn't engage in it and spoke out publicly against it. And
in order to get that prized conviction in The Era Of Obama
Transparency, John Kiriakou was set up and railroaded lock, stock and barrel. The animals who did the actual torturing, the lying, son of a bitch, bastard who destroyed records of those proud, defining moments in American history are home resting, getting their pay checks with drink (and flag) in hand.
