And quite probably thousands of lives were saved! The ringleader of the 9-11 attacks, al Qaeda figure, Abu Zubaydah was not responding to any interrogation techniques after being captured in Pakistan. So the CIA resorted to Water Boarding and: In the first public comment by any CIA officer involved in handling high-value al Qaeda targets, John Kiriakou, now retired, said the technique broke Zubaydah in less than 35 seconds. "The next day, he told his interrogator that Allah had visited him in his cell during the night and told him to cooperate," said Kiriakou in an interview to be broadcast tonight on ABC News' "World News With Charles Gibson" and "Nightline." From that day on, he answered every question," Kiriakou said. "The threat information he provided disrupted a number of attacks, maybe dozens of attacks." You can read the rest of the story here.
And according to CNS News Waterboarding of Zubaydah prevented another 9-11 style attack on Los Angeles, California:
(CNSNews.com) - The Central Intelligence Agency told CNSNews.com today that it stands by the assertion made in a May 30, 2005 Justice Department memo that the use of “enhanced techniques” of interrogation on al Qaeda leader Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM) -- including the use of waterboarding -- caused KSM to reveal information that allowed the U.S. government to thwart a planned attack on Los Angeles. Before he was waterboarded, when KSM was asked about planned attacks on the United States, he ominously told his CIA interrogators, “Soon, you will know.”
According to the previously classified May 30, 2005 Justice Department memo that was released by President Barack Obama last week, the thwarted attack -- which KSM called the “Second Wave”-- planned “ ‘to use East Asian operatives to crash a hijacked airliner into’ a building in Los Angeles.”

One think I thought of immediately is we will hear about the waterboarding in the lib media but they will forget to mention this.
The first positive blog I've seen on torture besides the stuff I've said about it.
A packet of bacon would've worked better. They fear bacon.
I'm all for it. If making a terrorist uncomfortable saves lives, GO FOR IT!!!
"Allah had visited him in his cell during the night and told him to cooperate"
ha! Wish Allah would visit and tell the rest of them the same thing.
Oh, and Amen to Most Rev. Gregori's comment! No actual plan of their own? Impale the long-gone administration.
