Few know more about these CIA operations than Thiessen, and in his new book, Courting Disaster, he documents just how effective the CIA's interrogations were in foiling attacks on America, penetrating al-Qaeda's high command, and providing our military with actionable intelligence. Thiessen also shows how reckless President Obama has been in shutting down the CIA's program and releasing secret documents that have aided our enemies. Courting Disaster proves:
How the CIA program thwarted specific deadly attacks against the U.S.
Why "enhanced interrogation" was not torture by any reasonable legal or moral standard
How the information gained by "enhanced interrogation" could not have been acquired any other way
How President Obama's actions since taking office have left America much more vulnerable to attack
In chilling detail, Thiessen reveals how close the terrorists came to striking again, how intelligence gained from "enhanced interrogation" repeatedly stymied their plots, and how President Obama's dismantling of this CIA program is inviting disaster for America. from NRO
Here he is with Ammanpour, and and Phillips Sands author of Torture Team.
Never have the issues been so sharply drawn, and more still, never has it been more obvious that there are some Americans who are ready to see Americans die, in a civilization become too civilized to survive, and therefore pass on it's way of living as a valuable contribution to the development of humanity.
Here is what Thiessen said of this in NRO:
Yesterday, I went on CNN's Amanpour to debate Phillpe Sands, author of the book Torture Team.
During the interview, I confronted Amanpour with some of her misstatements about the CIA's treatment of terrorist detainees. She was none too happy.It aired yesterday (WEDS) on CNN International, and will air domestically on Sunday.
And for a fun update..here is Liz Cheney vs Nora O'Donnell on NBC on a similar vein.

Knife-carrying Muslim enters New York elementary school, is asked to leave
The intruder, Abdulrahim Sulaiman, 23,of Bridgeport CT, is still breathing.
Saw that. Said he was looking for Fort Dix? Might have been interesting if he'd walked up to the Fort Dix guardhouse and said he was looking for an elementary school. Though considering the Ft. Hood report they'd have probably felt compelled to give him directions or risk their careers.
Oh, and Dennis Kucinich sez we gotta stop crowin' and braggin' on that Massachusetts Miracle or his peeps are going to start calling for the Fairness Doctrine again. On account of because we need more DIVERSITY, y'see. Has anyone told Dennis lately that he looks and sounds like one of the villains from Atlas Shrugged?
This is a very useful post. Thank so much.
