CIA Torture Success Claim Cast Overboard, Drowns

Jeff Stein has a great piece on how the most prominent CIA apologist for waterboarding has finally ‘fessed up that he didn’t know what he was talking about.

Much of the news media treated this CIA “expert” like a hero back in 2007. I assume they will ignore his recantation.

    I’m sure the Fawning Corporate Media hacks like David Gregory, Brainless–er, Brian Williams et al. will report fearlessly on this story. . . .
