Shuster: "lawful techniques" got info from Abu Zubayda in 1st hour, "shut up" when torture applied
Edited on Wed May-13-09 11:46 AM by jefferson_dem
Ali Soufan (FBI interrogator) testimony (under oath) this am has been huge. Big contradiction with Cheney/Bush DOJ on what produced intel.

Soufan says "lawful techniques" got info from Abu Zubayda in 1st hour, that AZ "shut up" when ehanced techniques were then applied.

1. Wow, interesting.
We've heard time and time again that torture does not produce credible info, good to hear that being backed up by someone who would know.

2. Huge in a sort of empty air-filled dry-cleaning bag sort of way...
Whitehouse was hung out to dry by his fellow dems.

D.I.S.G.R.A.C.E.F.U.L.

The final nails are being hammered into the torture investigations.

3. Mike Viquera (sp?) came on briefly on m$nbc and mentioned
Soufan's testimony. Shuster and Brewer's mouths dropped open. She said something along the lines of what Soufan is saying is in direct contradiction to what Cheney said.

I'm SO glad they're on top of this today even though they didn't show it.
