CIA admits waterboarding al-Qai’da men

WASHINGTON: The CIA has for the first time admitted publicly that it used “waterboarding“, or simulated drowning, in interrogations of three top al-Qa’ida detainees nearly five years ago. So? Here’s their profiles;

Mohammed has claimed to be the operational mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Abu Zubaydah is alleged to have been an aide to al-Qa’ida leader Osama bin Laden. And al-Nashiri is alleged to have been the operational commander of the suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000.

I note the use of the word “admits” like they have admitted to a heinous crime, maybe even as bad as murdering thousands of innocents by flying planes into a building. It just goes on and on, doesn’t it?
