Only 183 POURS? Oh, Well, That's Alright Then
A U.S. official with knowledge of the interrogation program told FOX News that the much-cited figure represents the number of times water was poured onto Mohammed's face -- not the number of times the CIA applied the simulated-drowning technique on the terror suspect. According to a 2007 Red Cross report, he was subjected a total of "five sessions of ill-treatment.""The water was poured 183 times -- there were 183 pours," the official explained, adding that "each pour was a matter of seconds."
Well, he must have been one wuss to have caved after just five sessions of "ill treatment". By the time they were done with him, he was claiming responsibility for not only greenlighting Ishtar but every movie Madonna ever made, and when told he was Barney the Purple Dinosaur, he started dancing around singing "I love you, you love me ..."
183 pours. Makes it sound like a nite at the pub, innit?
Well, if we're going to split hairs about how much waterboarding he got, let's just cut the bull and say that we tortured.
I mean, if you're going to take the position that enhanced interrogation just works, then stop continuing the conversation by equivocating.
At last check, The Talented Mr. Hannity has not yet arranged that waterboarding demo he says he was willing to do.
