water boarding?

How fast the right moved to take credit,printing false facts and declaring credit undeserved!

Lots more detail at the link.

It's important to add this section about the role torture didn't play in this, as well (seeing as it's a long article I hope this is OK, as it won't take it over the 25% threshold)...

(Khalid Sheikh) Mohammed did not discuss al-Kuwaiti while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, former officials said. He acknowledged knowing him many months later under standard interrogation, they said, leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic.
seems the right needs to be taken with a ton of salt!
