Cheney's exit interview

Two bits from an ABC/Cheney interview. Defending torture,
"There was a period of time there, three or four years ago, when about half of everything we knew about al Qaeda came from that one source," he added, referring to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. "So, it's been a remarkably successful effort. I think the results speak for themselves."

(Two ways to read that. Either KSM was a trove or the rest of the intelligence operation gave them nothing into 2004/5.)

And, on Page 3, Invade Iraq regardless of the intelligence.

  • A third way to read that: Cheney's full of shit and we could have gotten A LOT more from KSM using our wits and guile rather then thuggery.

  • Good, good point.

    Glad to have you back, by the way. Hope you see those power trucks rolling in soon.
