EMPTYWHEEL COMES THROUGH AGAIN

Marcy Wheeler took the time to carefully read the torture memos and discovered that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was water-boarded 183 times in March 2003 and Abu Zubaydah was given the same treatment 83 times in August 2002. The very large numbers suggest three things:

1) water-boarding doesn't work
2) water-boarding will never work if people like Cheney and Addington are convinced that the prisoners really do know more.
3) water-boarding won't help us in the ticking time bomb scenario.
