What Khalid Sheik Mohammed revealed
I’m not sure how much of this book I believe. But it certainly sounds like an interesting read:
The world has heard almost nothing from KSM in the 15 years since the 9/11 attacks, but Mitchell has spent thousands of hours with him and other captured al-Qaeda leaders. Now, for the first time, Mitchell is sharing what he says KSM told him.
Mitchell is an American patriot who has been unjustly persecuted for his role in crafting an interrogation program that helped stop terrorist attacks and saved countless lives. He does not shy from the controversies and pulls no punches in describing the interrogations. If anything, readers may be surprised by the compassion he showed these mass murderers. But the real news in his book is what happened after enhanced interrogations ended and the terrorists began cooperating.
IMO, no need to read and definitely no need to know anything beyond KSM deserved to be dragged out of court before a firing squad.
What KSM revealed should be common knowledge among citizens who give a damn about their country. Unfortunately, few will read and heed the lessons to be learned.
Thanks for the link, Neo. I will be reading the book.
If I read the piece correctly, KSM sang like a bird, leading lectures on terrorist techniques after enhanced interrogations, aka waterboarding.
The problem is that the Marxists will claim that “torture” will make a person say anything they think the interrogator wants to hear. Therefore, not a word of it can be believed.
And, of course, the Marxists define torture much more liberally (what else?) than real people – sleep deprivation, bad language, insulting their mother, blasphemy against Allah, pushing them up against a wall, and the infamous “waterboarding”, even with a physician and a lawyer present to make certain nobody really gets hurt.
Meanwhile, practitioners of the Religion of Peace don’t even think beheading, chopping off limbs, stoning, lashing, breaking bones, and tossing off tall buildings constitutes torture. You see, they are all guilty of defaming Allah/Muhammed/Islam/Koran and deserve everything done to them.
If you want to save money on the book, or at least get a good grounding in what all “mainstream” Muslim organizations plan to do, you can always start with the exhibits and transcripts from the Holy Land Foundation terror funding. They’re free and online. Here’s a good one to start with.

This was written in 1991. It was never supposed to be seen by non-Muslims. This highlight suggests why.
I guess it’s good I hit the wrong button. I only have a little bit to go, so I’ll just finish. The IAP went out of business in 2004. A federal judge found he IAP and the HLF were found liable in a $156M lawsuit for aiding and abetted Hamas in the West Bank murder of a 17-year-old American citizen named David Boim.
So the USG and froze their assets and shut them down for providing material support for terrorism.
Yet here we are twelve years later. CAIR is going strong, getting away with the pretense its a “Civil rights” organization when it really does is what the IAP used to do. It’s now the propaganda arm and recruiting arm of Hamas.
Just how suicidally stupid are we? This stupid. Under GWB CAIR had a seat at the table. To be fair to W the HLF terror funding trial in which it and a laundry list of MB front groups (page 18 in the Eplanatory Memorandum at the link above). Under Obama, who had no excuse, groups like Hamas have had veto power over foreign policy and, get this, terrorism and counter-terrorism training for our federal law enforcement, intelligence, national security, and military. This is one main reason Obama won’t link Islam to terrorism. The perpetual anti-Reagan Marxist-chic circa 1980 college freshman was already inclined to think the west started all the wars in the world anyway, because, Crusades! But the Islamic terrorists and their front groups that he’s put in charge of this country’s strategic thinking in the Islamic world have confirmed his untutored prejudices were right all along, so he thinks if he ignorantly (he’ll never read that book) helps KSM by doing all the stupid things KSM was always counting on that will bring about world peace.
just like giving Iran nukes will.

It’s also false. Professional interrogators have a neat trick for detecting when the subject just wants to lie and tell the interrogator what he wants to hear. For example, I would ask the subject 9 questions. Six of which I already know the answers to, and which most importantly, I know the subject knows the answers to. So unless the subject answers truthfully on it, which includes “I don’t know”, the subject will be punished the same or more severely than if he simply refuses to talk.
In this case, people can easily condition and train people to speak the truth, because they have no idea which questions the interrogators already have answers to.
It’s something people can usually figure out, if they have ever been put into similar positions of authority and power. Unless you work for Hussein’s Regime or are a braindead Leftist, there’s not much cognitive dissonance blocking the resolution if people really thought about it like the way they do about their job.
The proper counter to Leftists talking about torture is not to shift the subject to Islamic crimes against humanity. It is to use hidden cameras and interviews to expose the Left’s own crimes against humanity, for example Planned Profit.

The West is suicidal, has been since after WWI even.
That is why Americans blame immigrants for their problems. And that is why they want a panacea, a solution, that is easy to understand. What they do not want to understand is that America’s problems are as simple as the neighbor next door, the one who is not an immigrant.
