faux news supports torture

[spanone]

Fox News runs with dubious claim that KSM's interrogation thwarted L.A. plot

In recent days, several Fox News hosts and contributors have advanced the claim by former Bush speechwriter Marc A. Thiessen that the use of harsh interrogation techniques -- including waterboarding -- on Khalid Shaikh Mohammed "stopped an attack on the Library Tower in Los Angeles." But the claim conflicts with the chronology of events put forth on multiple occasions by the Bush administration, as Slate.com's Timothy Noah has noted. Indeed, the Bush administration said that the Library Tower attack was thwarted in February 2002 -- more than a year before Mohammed was captured in March 2003.

1. I'm virtually certain this supposed foiled attack was based on phony forced confessions...

made under duress. Interrogators were looking for something, anything...even made up plots to attack the homeland. We know the Boosh thugs were desperately looking for trumped up evidence of an Queda- Iraq connection.

3. As long as they believe someone should be watching their programming they support torture.
