Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

April 29,2009

Defenders of the CIA?s program of interrogating terrorist suspects through torture insist that it was necessary to protect America from a second wave of attacks.

Interrogators from both the military and the FBI refused to use so-called enhanced interrogation methods ? such as controlled drowning, or various kinds of physical abuse. Several of them have stepped forward now to testify that the purpose of the CIA?s so-called interrogation program was not to develop intelligence about future attacks on America, but rather to validate the idea of a link between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein. This would help build the Bush administration?s case for war with Iraq.

Major Matthew Alexander who questioned 300 suspected terrorists, believes that the CIA?s torture program actually resulted in mass recruitment of Jihadists to fight in Iraq. By Major Alexander?s account, more Americans died in Iraq because of that program than died in New York City on 9/11.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
