Report: Abusive tactics used to seek Iraq-al Qaida link | McClatchy

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 04:22:09 -0700

"The Bush administration put relentless pressure on interrogators to use harsh methods on detainees in part to find evidence of cooperation between al Qaida and the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's regime, according to a former senior U.S. intelligence official and a former Army psychiatrist.

"Such information would've provided a foundation for one of former President George W. Bush's main arguments for invading Iraq in 2003. No evidence has ever been found of operational ties between Osama bin Laden's terrorist network and Saddam's regime."

--Why did we torture? To come up with a good excuse for a senseless war. What else did Bush and Cheney do to manufacture reasons to go into Iraq? Here's what a former intelligence official told McClatchy's reporters:

"'The main one is that everyone was worried about some kind of follow-up attack (after 9/11). But for most of 2002 and into 2003, Cheney and Rumsfeld, especially, were also demanding proof of the links between al Qaida and Iraq that (former Iraqi exile leader Ahmed) Chalabi and others had told them were there.'

"It was during this period that CIA interrogators waterboarded two alleged top al Qaida detainees repeatedly — Abu Zubeida at least 83 times in August 2002 and Khalid Sheik Mohammed 183 times in March 2003 — according to a newly released Justice Department document."

Wow!

(I just read that the Skype founders were trying to liberate their company from ebay and was wondering if SU's founders would do the same.)
