(18,124 posts)I looked at the links and I surmised he was a braggart, but didn't lie about the 'understating' of total actual times waterboarding was used by interrogators on ALL detainees in question here. I assume "officer B, was the 'outed' agent who's identity never reached public light? Otherwise I see no indication in the links of a charge of outing an agent, except to the co-author of his book who knew and didn't disclose identity of said agent. His only 'crime' was the disclosure of secrets charge. And that I see is the only reason, he is spending 30months in federal prison. FDL crowd? Is that the Firedoglake blog..crowd you're referring to? As far as the book goes, hell if a seal on the team that killed bin laden went looking for fame and glory in the great american money machine, no fault to this agent. The reason for his prison sentence is because this country's PTB wanted to HIDE the horrible things done to detainees, CHILDREN!!!!! and women in the name of USA! USA! USA! HORRIBLE THINGS!!!!!
