With the 'Justice Dept. Gonzales probe ' and the 'GOP on Bush ' former National Intelligence Director John Negroponte the use of waterboarding in telling the National Journal that it ' .'

Whatever Happened To "We Do Not Torture"? by dday John Negroponte the King of All Salvadoran Death Squads and says the obvious. Negroponte: I get concerned that we're too retrospective and tend to look in the rearview mirror too often at things that happened four or even six years ago. We've taken steps to address the issue of interrogations for instance and waterboarding has not been used in years . It wasn't used when I was director of national intelligence nor even for a few years before that. We've also taken significant steps to improve Guantanamo . People will tell you now that it is a world-class detention facility. But if you want to highlight and accent the negative you can resurface these issues constantly to keep them alive. I would rather focus on what we need to do going forward. It's an interesting new legal argument. Not guilty by reason of "yeah we're guilty but we fixed it!" I'll have to consult the Court to see if that holds. By the way if you want to know how to responsibly engage in interrogation you can . Piro says no coercive interrogation techniques like sleep deprivation heat cold loud noises or water boarding were ever used. "It's against FBI policy first. And wouldn't have really benefited us with someone like Saddam " Piro says. Why not? "I think Saddam clearly had demonstrated over his legacy that he would not respond to threats to any type of fear-based approach " Piro explains. "So how do you crack a guy like that?" Pelley asks. "Time " Piro says. (This interrogation eventually revealed that Saddam didn't have WMD was wary of Osama bin Laden and viewed him as a threat. Clearly that was the WRONG kind of intelligence. Maybe they didn't do enough zip-bam Jack Bauer work on him so they got the wrong answers.) Negroponte simply revealed what everyone already knew and it's not like our country's been averse to for years. But there's something different in reading a public official say in the most nonchalant matter possible "Yeah we tortured so?" It's really wounding. It's one thing to know that your country has betrayed its supposed ideals. It's quite another to have that betrayal confirmed in the most putrid manner possible. I have a bit more at . .

The United States used waterboarding in terrorism interrogations but no longer does a former U.S. spy chief said in the Bush administration's clearest confirmation of the technique's use.

It's a strange weird world out there. I get hate mail all the time but you know me — I'm mean and cruel and I don't hesitate to pull out the sharp sharp knives of unkind rhetoric. Other people get hate mail too and here's (which is also really mean since I'm not the recipient.) You people are going to ruin your little daughter and make her burn in hell like the two of you. You think you are clever and so does the devil. Only God has the answer for you. God or G. Bush. That last line is a real laugh-getter — some people have problems distinguishing god from Bush and I'm not talking about Moses — but there's more. What did this horrible person and his child do to deserve such damnation? Is he a militant atheist? A commie pinko Kucinich supporter? I don't know; maybe but it's not apparent from the blog. The blog has a theme. It's about vegan parenting . Oh man when George W. Bush discovers that people actually post vegetarian recipes on a blog he is probably going to send Chuck Norris over to kick their asses and slap 'em around with a side of beef. I'm just relieved that I've never posted my old recipe for miso soup here or I'd really be in trouble — I'd be posting from Gitmo in between waterboarding sessions or dodging lightning bolts from heaven.
