and using them to 'get you to talk'.
This guy Khalid Sheik Mohammed's two young children, (I believe they were both under 10) were 'detained' by the US and used to make him talk.
Is that ok?
The information that * said they got from doing shit like this was:
"The bill would also provide clear rules for our personnel involved in detaining and questioning captured terrorists.
The information that the Central Intelligence Agency has obtained by questioning men like Khalid Sheik Mohammed has provided valuable information and has helped disrupt terrorist plots, including strikes within the United States.
For example, Khalid Sheik Mohammed described the design of plane attacks on building inside the U.S. and how operatives were directed to carry them out. That is valuable information for those of us who have the responsibility to protect the American people.
He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure that the explosives went off at a point that was high enough to prevent people trapped above from escaping.
He gave us information that helped uncover al-Qaida cells' efforts to obtain biological weapons.
We've also learned information from the CIA program that has helped stop other plots, including attacks on the U.S. Marine base in East Africa, our American consulate in Pakistan, or Britain's Heathrow Airport.
This program has been one of the most vital tools in our efforts to protect this country. It's been invaluable to our country, and it's invaluable to our allies.
Were it not for this program, our intelligence community believes that al-Qaida and its allies would have succeeded in launching another attack against the American homeland.
There's a debate about the specific provisions in my bill, and we'll work with Congress to continue to try to find common ground.
I have one test for this legislation. I'm going to ask one question, as this legislation proceeds, and it's this: The intelligence community must be able to tell me that the bill Congress sends to my desk will allow this vital program to continue. That's what I'm going to ask."
Given what I've come to know of the 'government'- I MYSELF wouldn't discount some terrible things may very well have befallen this mans children. What exactly was THEIR sin??? being born to him for a father?
THIS outrages me.
And what great information did they glean???? That airplanes would hit buildings- that people would be trapped with no escape....
No Duh.
We all learned that way back in 2001.
I will post a link to the info on the capture and detention of the children if anyone is really interested.
What about this tactic though?? Do the ends justify the means?
