>> So they got what out of Zubaydah ? Zilch.

As I previously pointed out, the interrogation of Zubaydah provided a TON of useful information. For example, there was a name that had been used in a lot of correspondence ("Mukhtar") that they could not identify. Zubaydah, thinking he was giving up trivial information, gave up that Mukhtar was KSM. This was an extremely important finding is that it led to KSM's capture.

The truth is that the EIT interrogation of Zubaydah led to the capture of an entire group of AQ people, KSM among them.

>> And what did 186 water tortures of one get from the guy besides pleasure for the sadistic bastards doing it......

The 183 waterboarding "pours" (lasting on average 10 seconds each, over a period of weeks) were applied to KSM.

The people doing the waterboarding were not "sadistic." As you would know if Feinstein had decided to report it, to a person they were doing what had to be done. None of them, as far as is known, "wanted" to do it and certainly none "enjoyed" doing it. There is plenty of documentation of this fact, had Feinstein wanted to paint a complete picture.

Over the last few nights Megyn Kelly has interviewed one of the psychologists involved. You may want to watch those interviews if you care to understand what really happened.
