KSM offers testimony to Haspel confirmation hearing
The New York Times reports that Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the 9/11 attack planner asked a judge to allow him to testify at Gina Haspel’s confirmation hearing in regards to her participation in water boarding activities;
Mr. Mohammed, the principal architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, was captured in March 2003 and tortured by the C.I.A. This week, he asked a military judge at Guantánamo Bay for permission to share six paragraphs of information about Ms. Haspel with the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Ms. Haspel ran a black-site prison in Thailand where another high-level detainee was tortured in late 2002. But it is not known whether she was involved, directly or indirectly, in Mr. Mohammed’s torture. Mr. Mohammed was held in secret C.I.A. prisons in Afghanistan and Poland.
In the weeks after his capture, an Intelligence Committee report said, Mr. Mohammed was subjected to the suffocation technique called waterboarding 183 times over 15 sessions, stripped naked, doused with water, slapped, slammed into a wall, given rectal rehydrations without medical need, shackled into painful stress positions and sleep-deprived for about a week by being forced to stand with his hands chained above his head.
I’m only surprised that Democrats didn’t provide him with first-class airfare to Washington.
Ms. Haspel ran a black-site prison in Thailand in late 2002 while a detainee being held there, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who is accused of orchestrating Al Qaeda’s attack on the American destroyer Cole off the coast of Yemen in 2000, was subjected to torture techniques including waterboarding. She was also involved in destroying videotapes of interrogation sessions in 2005.
I don’t consider waterboarding to be torture – I’ve watched stank-ass hippies waterboard each other in front of the White House. I doubt that they would do that if it was all that terrible. The worst part for them is having clean water touch their nasty skin.

Why is that nasty goat fucker still breathing?
Because reasons/libs.
Fah-Kheem.
Just give him his 72 virgins already.

Added that for you.
Ahhhh, my eyes! At least now my mouth tastes like vomit.
Because PC shite.
“He maybe be the orchestrator of the worst kind of atrocities on U.S soil but, he is a human!”
Bollocks! This animal is the worst kind of hominid.

Hitler, Ghandi, and Mandela can tell you what a great platform being a political prisoner can be. He should have been executed and unceremoniously dumped in the ocean ala bin Laden.
No execution, just dumped.
Keel-hauled from an LHD, preferably one that’s overdue for a drydock in warm water. Repeat as needed until the line goes slack.

What a nice legacy.
“With our boxes of matches, and our necklaces, we shall liberate this country”,
Although I am perfectly okay with this method being used on goat molesters.
You got that RIGHT!
KSM requests to testify at the confirmation hearing for the (hopefully) future Director of the CIA.
— sigh —
Sure. Why not.
And the DC circus rolls on…
It sounds like Gina Haspel is perfect for the job!
Oh, so it’s okay for THEM to torture, mutilate and execute people in barbaric manner, but if we do something mildly or vaguely related, and the complaint is from someone who wants to destroy us, that’s not okay.
When did any of those freak shows sign the Geneva Convention? Anyone have the answer to that? Anyone? Bueller?
Actually, Ex, every one of the “enhanced” interrogation techniques have been used on US military personnel for years- it’s an integral part of SERE training.
I got to visit a little known country called The Peoples Republic of North America (PRONA) in the Rangeley Mountains in Maine for mine.
While distinctly unpleasant, they in no way rose to the level of “torture.”
AW1Ed, if you want torture I can burn the steaks thoroughly right in front of you.
Noooooo!!!!!!
*grin*
There is torture, and then there is going WAY too far.
Ex, you are about to cross that line. You may redeem yourself by posting another recipe though.
She tortured Khalid? Good. I say give her the job.
As for the convicted, admitted mass-murdering terrorist shitbag, his beard should be buzzed off, followed by a weekly facial waxing. That way the lesser shitbirds in Gitmo can more easily picture him as the woman while they treat him accordingly.
Well, based on the picture of when he was captured…….wax that wookie motherfucker’s back, also.
I bet if she says “BOO!” KSM will shit his fukking pants.
well KSM…and half of Congress
When I first saw this story this a.m., I thought it was joke and, if so, in very poorv taste. When I read the story, I realized it wasn’t a joke at all and I started kicking shit. I just calmed down about 20 mins ago and now I’m back at it. When I can react w/o extreme profanity, I will. That should put us in July or August. Maybe.
It really is utterly unfukking believable, eh?
Yep. And I DON’T believe it, either…no way KSM knows who she is or how she would or would not have been tied into his treatment. And if you think it’s from TV, why would he have access to the outside world? and even if he did, how can his testimony be relevant, if there’s no way he could know anything? I think someone’s making most of this up somewhere…
Seriously, Obama, Biden and Kerry might as well just line up and take turns sucking KSM’s dick.
Seriously.
It wouldn’t surprise me
I didn’t include Cankles McPantssuit because we all know she’s not into sucking dick.
Right Monica?
And right, Huma?
Who says they haven’t already???
I’m with ya 2/17. This belongs on The Onion. Getting harder to separate reality from a crazy absurdist dream.
So now we are actually, literally letting the inmates run the asylum?
That can’t possibly backfire. Said the same guy who signed off on Operation Fast and Furious.
Huh?
YEF! Buffer! Hallway! NOW!
Don’t forget Afternoon Police Call as well!
The Florida WFTL 850AM Jen & Bill radio show had them saying yesterday that the dems and some republicans say that she is too tough on terrorists for her to hold the job. “””””WTF””””” is going on with these shit bird congressional peeps.
So, while he was testifying, how about someone walk up to his desk carrying a large rag and a big pitcher of water, grinning bigly……
On it, sir.
Now if Ms. Haspel were a dem, she would be in like Flint.
I wonder how much KSM contributed to Hillary’s campaign.
I’m quite sure that George Soros contributed a lavish sum in his name.
Yeah, it’s completely insane that nearly 17 years after 9/11, KSM is still drawing breath. Timothy McVeigh got the needle less than 6 years after his attack and KSM’s attack killed almost 20 times as many innocent people as McVeigh’s.
If we don’t have the huevos to do what is necessary with a mass murderer, we need to turn KSM over to a country that will.
KSM should have been worm food the millisecond after we extracted the last bit of intel from him with the corpse buried under a mound of pig shit. Allowing this SHPOS to offer anything more than his request for a last meal is beyond moronic. Who is the mental giant who thought this was a good idea and signed off on it? We F-ed up by telling the world we captured these turds, they should have just been disappeared. Let them wonder what happened to their asshole buddy.
I define torture thus, if you still have both of your nuts, most of your fingers and some of your toes, any of your teeth, sight in one eye and can hear in the human speech range, then you have not been tortured. Or you have been and you gave it up too early.
And as if on cue, the screeching libotard moonbat protesters have made their appearance at Ms. Haspel’s confirmation hearing:
‘Protester Shouting ‘Bloody Gina’ Removed From CIA Director Confirmation Hearing’
http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/05/09/protester-interrupts-gina-haspel-cia-director-confirmation-hearing
‘A protester was abruptly removed Wednesday from CIA director nominee Gina Haspel’s Senate confirmation hearing.
Haspel was speaking to Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) when the woman began shouting from the gallery.
“The question is, what do you do to human beings in U.S. custody? Bloody Gina!,” the protester repeatedly shouted. “You are a torturer!”
A short time later another protester disrupted the hearing as Sen. Jack (D-R.I.) asked Haspel about her role in enhanced interrogations of terror suspects.
The man was hauled out by Capitol Police officers and Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said any individuals involved in future disruptions would also be removed.
Some Democrats have said Haspel should be disqualified because of her involvement in what critics consider to be the torture of two terrorism suspects at a covert detention site in Thailand.
More than 50 former top national-security and intelligence officials – including vocal Trump critics – have expressed support for Haspel, who would be the first female CIA director.’
I can’t stand President Trump, but I’m all for Gina Haspel. Having a career ops person as head of CIA is fantastic.
YOU mean you’d rather have Das Hitlerbeast in Office? The Clintons make Richard Nixon look like an Altar Boy!
Not that I always agree with LC, but he has repeatedly said he is not a supporter of Hitlery.
Imagine, for a moment, you can choose between Hillary Clinton or, say, Bradley/Chelsea Manning for President.
Just because you say you can’t stand a particular candidate doesn’t mean you’d rather the other.
If we were so fucked as to be down to those two choices, LC, I hope you would join us in constitutional revolt.
“Bloody Gina?” was protester a Brit?
If this rag-wearing shitbag hates, and more importantly, fears Haspel then she is really the right person for the job. We don’t need a CIA director that hands out flowers.
Those “rectal rehydrations” should have been followed by rectal cattle prod probing.
Enema of the State.
IT AIN’T Waterboarding if you use diesel fuel!!!
Wait…what?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“The smoking lamp is lit. That is all.”
That mother fucker should have been disappeared long ago. He should be in such a deep hole even the word light shouldn’t reach him. What fucking injustice to the thousands that died that day.
Burial at sea, like bin Laden. Unlike bin Laden, he doesn’t specifically need to be dead first.
I want Gina to waterboard KSM in front of Congress.
I made the mistake of watching part of the hearing today.
I turned it off (more like took a sledgehammer to the remote) after enduring the drivel that Senators Harris and Reed called questioning.
Fuck these pieces of shit.
Sen Tom Cotton, shut the show down by calling out all the Dems on the committee who had voted for John Brennan (#4 at the Agency during the enhanced interrogation period) when he was up for CIA Director.
Hypocrisy in action.
After all the grandstanding BS, it looks like Ms. Haspel has enough support to secure confirmation.
