Meet Fred Hiatt’s Newest Columnist
Via Crooks and Liars:
From C-SPAN’s Washington Journal, torture monger Marc Thiessen claims that waterboarding is not torture and that it worked because Abu Zubaydah, who was waterboarded 83 times in one month, thanked his interrogator after the fact and said “you must do this for all the brothers” and that a “moral burden” was lifted from his shoulders to resist talking during his interrogation.
To refresh your memory of the Zubaydah horror story, the link included above, from Marcy Wheeler, is a must read, with a devastating conclusion: “Abu Zubdaydah was waterboarded 83 times in a month. And for all that torture, he only revealed 10 (perhaps 9) pieces of intelligence deemed useful by the 9/11 Commission.”
That is what Fred Hiatt is endorsing for his editorial page: Cheneyism at it’s most extreme. Horrified by that? If so, there’s a simple remedy. Join New Security Action in petitioning Hiatt to reverse this deplorable hiring.
