Mark Thiessen was Bush's speechwriter

And he makes his OWN bold assertions in that review.
All it does, is support YOUR views.

>This is the secret to the program's success:
Abu Zubaydah explained 'brothers who are captured and interrogated are permitted by Allah to provide information when they believe they have reached the limit of their ability to withhold it in the face of psychological and physical hardship."

Thiessen then declares "The job of the interrogator is to safely help the terrorist do his duty to Allah, so he then feels liberated to speak freely. "

What a line of right wing BS if I ever heard one. Using religion to condone the process.

>"the Obama administration's decision to share this secret with the terrorists threatens our national security. "

As if ANY of them are going to be "stronger" in the face of their interrogators? Thiessen's principle remind me of the same reasoning Tech1 sometimes comes up with. Nice try.
