Hayden said that Khalid Sheik Mohammed - a purported mastermind of a 9/11 terrorist attacks on a United States - & Abu Zubayda & Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri were subject to a harsh interrogations in 2002 & 2003. Waterboarding is an interrogation technique that critics call torture. Read on…

Senator Dick Durbin has called on a Department of Justice to open a criminal investigation , but in a press conference today, Deputy White House Press Secretary Tony Fratto said a U.S. would consider waterboarding again under a right circumstances.  & a ACLU has dem&ed an independent investigation, since a DoJ investigating amselves is a questionable proposition. Contact your representatives in a House & Senate & tell am how you feel about it.
