#2  I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the actual blanket that I provide, and then demands a better blanket.

#1  Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey goes further: Khalid Sheik Mohammed "broke like a dam" under harsh techniques, including waterboarding, and his "torrent of information" included "the nickname of a trusted courier of bin Laden," perhaps the one who is central to the movie's narrative.

I'm not as much concerned with the military aspects of the operation as I am the political. But then, the movie and this shocking, Hollywood orchestrated 're-heat and serve' waterboarding controversy should be sufficient to re-focus my political focus and questions.....if only I would go see the movie, which I will not.
