WTF excuse for torture: "The job of interrogator is to safely help terrorist do his duty to Allah"
Courtesy of Marc Thiessen, former propagandist for Boosh.

In other words, the terrorists are called by their faith to resist as far as they can -- and once they have done so, they are free to tell everything they know. This is because of their belief that "Islam will ultimately dominate the world and that this victory is inevitable." The job of the interrogator is to safely help the terrorist do his duty to Allah, so he then feels liberated to speak freely.

1. Maybe KSM didn't know much about future attacks
and just made it up.

Even if he did know of plans - surely they would have been called off because he was in custody - and new plans implemented that he had no way of knowing.

2. What a POS that article was.
He's still peddling that "We prevented the Library Tower attack because of torture" crap!

Yet another Booshie trying to salve his guilty conscience in public. Repulsive and obscene.

3. I believe someone has finally invented the reverse Stockholm syndrome
The reverse Stockholm syndrome, I'm guessing, is when a law enforcement or security officer stays cooped up in the space and mindset of a prisoner so long that he starts to sympathize with the criminal's belief system.
