Former FBI interrogator Jack Cloonan spills the beans to Foreign Policy Magazine about the techniques he used on top al-Qaida operatives. Cloonan explains that the ticking-time-bomb scenario often used to rationalize torture is a myth and that waterboarding only motivates the enemy to get revenge—even if it takes a generation.

"The bill Congress sent me would take away one of the most valuable tools in the war on terror," Bush said in his weekly radio address taped for broadcast Saturday. "So today I vetoed it," Bush said.

One of the most powerful and valuable tools that Congress has is the ability to override a veto. It is essential that Congress at the very least attempt an override this time. Watch very carefully how your Congress Critters vote and remind them they're up for re-election this November. This MUST be brought up in the Senate where all can see McSame flip flop again.
