Sept. 25, 2006 issue - Waterboarding, which dates back to the Spanish Inquisition, is an interrogation method that involves strapping a prisoner face up onto a table and pouring water into his nose. The idea is to create the sensation of drowning so that the panicked prisoner will talk. According to The New York Times, 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded by the CIA. He eventually confessed what President Bush described last Friday as "information about terrorist plans we couldn't get anywhere else." Neither Bush nor any other administration official has acknowledged, on the record, the use of waterboarding or any other specific CIA method. But at a White House news conference, Bush passionately defended the once secret CIA interrogation program involving such "alternative" techniques as "vital.
If I remember right the Spanish Inquisition was used against Jews. This Khalid Mohammed broke under the CIA torture and revealed that they planned to cut down the Brooklyn Bridge with blow torches. Right, how long would that take?
If you torture someone long enough they are going to tell you what they think you want to here.

Amen, Patsy.
I saw some guy say that it took about 30 seconds to get this confession out of the guy. He thought if they got that confession in 30 seconds they would have got it in 5 to 10 minutes with more professional interrogation techniques. He asked, "What was the hurry? It wasn't like the bridge was in the process of coming down right then"
