You idiot. I debunked this weeks ago when it first turned up. Why would you bring it up again?
From a 2005 story in the LA Times:
Federal counter-terrorism officials on Friday disclosed for the first time that during his interrogations, Mohammed said he hadn't completely abandoned the prospect of a second wave of attacks, but had turned the idea over to a trusted aide named Hambali, the chief of operations for an Al Qaeda affiliate group in South Asia, Jemaah Islamiyah.
Hambali, also known as Riduan Isamuddin, in turn is believed to have chosen several men to launch the attacks, including a pilot, and had set aside some money to pay for them, according to one senior counter-terrorism official.
Those men were soon captured, however, and the plot never progressed past the planning stages, according to several counter-terrorism officials.
More significantly, it is clear from Obama's unwillingness to release the details and, by his own admission, that wateboarding "worked". Had it NOT worked, he would not have redacted the portions of the memos dealing with "results". |
