YouTube: FBI agent says waterboarding works -- for Al Qaeda
Posted 38 weeks 5 days ago byIt's been a few days since we talk about torture, so I thought I'd post this Foreign Policy video interview with Jack Clayton, a former FBI agent who interviewed Al Qaeda suspects in the 1990s. He's not a big fan of waterboarding, and he's skeptical of ticking time-bomb scenarios.
UPDATE: Silly me, I hadn't even seen the news about the Justice Department's waterboarding inquiry when I threw this blog entry together.
The Justice Department revealed Friday that its internal ethics office was investigating the department’s legal approval for waterboarding of Qaeda suspects by the Central Intelligence Agency and was likely to make public an unclassified version of its report.
Mr. Jarrett’s report could become the first public accounting for legal advice that endorsed methods widely denounced as torture by human rights groups and legal authorities. His office can refer matters for criminal prosecution; legal experts said the most likely outcome was a public critique of the legal opinions on interrogation, noting that Mr. Jarrett had the power to reprimand or to seek the disbarment of current or former Justice Department lawyers.
You know what? I'm not interested in putting Justice Department lawyers in prison (or even disbarring them) for approving waterboarding. The initial approval came in the immediate shadow of 9/11 -- a scary time (remember the anthrax attacks?) when we were waiting for the next big attack. And Justice Department lawyers -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- are not legal automatons, spitting out "correct" answers based on precise data; they're human beings who were worried that their advice not be an obstacle to preventing the next attack. As President Bush would say: I understand that.
But I think it's apparent that initial legal advice was flawed. I think the Justice Department recognizes that. And I think it's time to say so publicly -- and, for the sake of winning a few hearts and minds, loudly -- and move on.

Hey,any person want to increase search engine page rank
Submitted on November 8th, 2008 by AnonymousHello, I’m new http://demya.com/images/forums.gif
I found this place on a website which helps you get cheap web site traffic; that website is MyWebsiteNeedsTraffic.com
Supposedly that web site i a search engine optimization website and lets people rent out a piece of it in order to advertise their own site and the owner of this place probably took the offer since I came across this place from that site. Has anyone else except the owner of this website used that traffic purchasing site before and are they good? I’m considering using their trial but wanted to get more other opinions before trying their services.
Anyway, about myself: I love to game, favorite movie is waynes world.
Well I guess I’m finished boring you all. Definitely look forward to hearing from the rest of you.

Submitted on November 8th, 2008 by AnonymousHello...
I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have been a long time lurker of this forum and decided to join. There are a lot of interesting posts here and the members and the MOD's are pretty friendly.
I would like some advice from maybe some of the senior members about home buying. Me and the wifey are thinking about buying a home. I have been reading a little bit about foreclosures and getting some homebuying tips from this Real Estate site but we are still undecided.
I think this site is more for Real Estate Agents just trying to promote themselves for free.
Suggestions or Ideas appreciated from any member.
