The “Torture” Memos Vindicate Bush Admin

April 30, 2009
By AFN

The release of the so-called Guantanamo “torture” memos that was designed to embarrass the Bush administration has had the opposite effect.  Far from embarrassing the Bush administration, the memos vindicate it.  Click here for one of the memos. (The pertinent parts illustrating our care are highlighted for a fast read).

In an ironic twist, this will backfire on the Obama administration because it makes the Bush administration look great!  And it won’t have the effect conservatives fear in that it gives all our secrets away, because few in the terrorist world will believe it!  They think almost everything we do or say is a lie and they will no doubt believe this was a publicity stunt that gave away no real information.  

The memos detail the lengths we went to – to protect prisoners from any lasting harmful effects from these interrogation procedures and clearly show that they weren’t torture.

Waterboarding – only used on 3 prisoners – could not be performed unless there was a medical expert present throughout the procedures.  And the waterboarding would be stopped if it was deemed medically necessary to prevent mental or physical harm.  This is like having a referee in a boxing match who stops the fight if anyone is in the way of any actual harm.  These memos reveal that the so-called “torture” techniques were very carefully controlled and performed under strict medical supervision.

We also now know that the tough interrogation techniques used on Khalid Sheikh Mohammad prevented a terrorist attack on Los Angeles.  Detractors of tough interrogation techniques have said repeatedly that these techniques don’t bring quality information becuase the prisoner will tell his interrogators whatever he thinks they want to hear in order to make them stop.  They make this claim repeatedly and are never questioned on it.

However, the evidence shows this claim is false.  Khalid Sheikh Mohammad did indeed give quality, actionable information that led to the breakup of an east Asian terrorists cells that was planning a 9/11-style attack on Los Angeles .

For anyone who cares about American security and freedom, please download this memo and read at least the highlighted parts so you can have the facts when you talk to your friends about this topic.
