The critics that i have been a strong opponent of many of the policies of the bush administration such as the preemptative war in iraq and tactics to include waterboarding. the fact that i was not involved in the decisionmaking process has been ignored. the extent of his opposition is murky. cia colleagues told "the washington post" they dont recall him raising objections and ruling out waterboarding rules out just one of the enhanced techniques used at the time. those included sleep deprivation...

Torture clearly were taken not accurately from what we know how enhanced interrogation was done, but the viewer is left with a certain image and that, of course, is the big issue. >> im telling you 2 1/2 hours later you walk out and you say, we kicked the crap out of that guy and, therefore, were able to kill bin laden. david, here is the interesting thing. the insiders cant agree. three people with access to classified information about the interrogation program have come to very different conc...

To kill bin laden. david, here is the interesting thing. the insiders cant agree. three people with access to classified information about the interrogation program have come to very different conclusions about its effectiveness. i want to share this with you. for example, today in "the washington post," jose rodriguez, the former director of the national clandestine service, wrote, i was intimately involved in setting up and administering the cias enhanced interrogation program. i left the agen...

Bin laden courier from detainees subjected to coercive interrogation techniques. instead, the cia learned of the existence of the courier, his true name and location, through means unrelated to the cia detention and interrogation program. michael morell mainly agreed with her saying the impression that enhanced interrogation was the key to finding bin laden is false, and he also said whether enhanced interrogation techniques were the only timely and effective way to obtain information from those...

Agency at the time of the bin laden raid said the information did not lead to bin ladens hideout in pakistan. other lawmakers agree. as does mike morrell. he says the film creates the strong impression that the enhanced interrogation techniques that were part of our former interrogation program were the key to finding bin laden. that impression is false. three members of the senate intelligence committee are also taking issue with the film suggestions that torture was an effective method of obta...

Protest that went awry, thats not true. this had nothing to do with the youtube video, that narrative was told to us for weeks. there was evidence to support t. how were they able to hide this from the american people, up to and including the election and does that become a bigger scandal if they were hiding it for the election? >> i think clearly they were hiding it for the election. i would add to the very significant concerns here the fact that not a single person has been held accountable --...

Thats in large part because we have no interrogation program, because we are treating this like a law enforcement matter because the fbi is asking nicely can we get access to the one person who seems to be in custody, tunisians. but we have done nothing to bring anybody to justice for these murders. this is a 4 part scandal and coverup. neither the president nor the secretary of state has given anybody a true or full accounting of what happened and what they knew and what they knew it. >> as men...
