If you really want the scoop on the Enhanced Interrogation Techniques practiced against would-be terrorists after 9/11 by the Bush administration, you really only need to read four articles.
- This piece by Jennifer Rubin on the investigation into EITs conducted by the CIA’s Inspector General in 2004 and why the Obama administration has opted to ignore it.
- This front-page story from the Washington Post that details the efficacy of EITs and how they turned Khalid Sheikh Mohammed into a valuable and life-saving intelligence asset.
- This Thomas Jocelyn piece, which serves as a useful companion piece to the WaPo piece. It also adds some information about the plots foiled by the information gained from KSM.
- This piece by Steven Hayes that summarizes much of the three pieces I already listed and adds a little bit more from the CIA IG.
As a bonus, you should also read this post by Moe Lane as an example just now impervious to reality the Democratic National Committee really is when it comes to national security.
