Reply #7: Good for Nancy! Now maybe we can begin to ask a different question:

[Beam Me Up]

To what extent was "intelligence" derived from torture used to tie al Qaeda to the 9/11 attacks? The 9/11 Commission, shepherded by none other than "let me cover my ass on torture" Philip Zelikow, began with the assumption that the identity of the attackers and the role of al Qaeda in those attacks were known. To what extent was that "knowledge" based on "intelligence" derived under torture? Did the Bush cabal provide any more clear, irrefutable evidence to the American people and the world community that al Qaeda was responsible for all the events of 9/11 than they provided to show Iraq had WMD and was an immanent threat? Or has all this "evidence" been cloaked behind the shield of "national security"?
