Hell is too good

Update below.

Page 37 of the May 30, 2005 Bradbury memo shows that

The CIA used the waterboard "at least 83 times during August 2002" in the interrogation of Zubaydah. IG Report at 90, and 183 times during March 2003 in the interrogation of KSM, see id. at 91.

Um. 183rd time is the charm?

And the other thing that's horrifying there? They waterboarded him 183 more times, eight months after they'd done it to him 83 times. What on earth did they think they'd get out of the guy after he'd been held in captivity for the additional eight months?

Jesus. What sort of people are these men?

Marcy Wheeler has much more.

Update: Crap. I misread the quotation; Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (KSM) was the guy who was waterboarded 183 times in March 2003. See next post.
