Senior figures from Tony Blair's government have questioned George W Bush's claims that the waterboarding of suspects helped protect London from terrorist attacks after 9/11.
10 Nov 2010 - In an assertion that has fuelled intense debate on Britain's alleged use of torture-tainted intelligence, Mr Bush, the former US president, said: "Three people were waterboarded and I believe that decision saved lives." Mr Bush maintains that waterboarding is not torture, though Downing Street on Tuesday reasserted its view that the technique did constitute torture.
Last month, Sir John Sawers, the head of the UK's Secret Intelligence Service, said: "Torture is illegal and abhorrent under any circumstances and we have nothing whatsoever to do with it."
Lord Macdonald of River Glaven, the former Director of Public Prosecutions said: “These stories about waterboarding thwarting attacks on Canary Wharf and Heathrow — I’ve never seen anything to substantiate these claims. It’s an easy claim to make, it’s much more difficult to prove. These claims are to be treated with a great deal of scepticism." {read rest}
In 2003 some 72% of Americans fully supported the Abandoning of the Missions and those Sent to Accomplish so extremely Quickly after 9/11!!At least some 95%, if not more as less then 1% serve them, not only still support the, just below, total lack of Sacrifice, they ran from any and all Accountability and left everything still on the table to be continually used if the political/military want was still in play in future executive/legislative wants!!
