WASHINGTON (Reuters)

The Times said a 2005 Justice Department memorandum showed that Abu Zubaydah, the first prisoner questioned in the CIA's overseas detention program in August 2002, was waterboarded 83 times, although a former CIA officer had told news media he had been subjected to only 35 seconds underwater before talking.
The Justice Department memo said the simulated drowning technique was used on Mohammed 183 times in March 2003. The Times said some copies of the memos appeared to have the number of waterboardings redacted while others did not.

Sept. 11 planner waterboarded 183 times: report | U.S. | Reuters
The purpose of torture

Zhubadh talked after 35 seconds. Why still being waterboarded 83 times? --CIA wanted some "desired words". What kind of "desired words"?

Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times in March 2003. -- Still remember the time to invade Iraq? March 21 2003.

The waterboarding used on Zhubadah and Mohammed was just on time Bush was going to start invade Iraq. They need some desired words to justify the war.

Now read the following comment, you know what the purpose for torture:


The Rachel Madow show (MSNBC) tonight interviewed Pulitzer prize winning author Ron Suskind (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Suskind>) who alleges that the Bush White House authorized torture, not to ward off future terrorist attacks in the U.S. like they claim, but to force lies out of suspects, connecting Saddam Hussein's Iraq with the 9/11/2001 attack! These "Confessions" would be used to justify the Iraq war.
