JMS Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Just heard this First on AP-Mobile, but they don't have a link on the internet Here is the link to the story I found on internet from Huffington Post.. ... wow.. CIA Threatened To Kill 9/11 Suspect's Children: Report WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has approved creation of a new, special terrorism-era interrogation unit to be supervised by the White House, a top aide said Monday, further distancing his administration from President George W. Bush's detainee policies. The administration has also decided that all U.S. interrogators will follow the rules for detainees laid out by the Army Field Manual, according to senior administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the decision. That decision aims to end years of fierce debate over how rough U.S. personnel can get with terror suspects in custody. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/24/cia-threatened-to-kill-91_n_267331.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsHokieFan Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 KSM's response to this threat was "good, they will be with Allah" This is an old report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 You have to believe a threat for it to be useful. Much like the mock executions and use of drills. What had the interrogators done to make 'em think that the threat might be carried out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMS Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Why is that a bad thing? If you don't know I can't explain it to you, and wouldn't try. This is an old report Actually the internal CIA report was just released this morning. You have to believe a threat for it to be useful. Much like the mock executions and use of drills. What had the interrogators done to make 'em think that the threat might be carried out? Wow... It's like I'm back in the 1100 AD and folks are yelling "God Wills It"... all around me in the crowd.

Corcaigh Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Wow... It's like I'm back in the 1100 AD and folks are yelling "God Wills It"... all around me in the crowd. You miss the point. If I'm a terrorist and a CIA interrogator threatens me with anything, I have to believe the threat is credible before I'm intimidated. So it leads to the question of what else were they doing that getting mutilated with drill, or killing his family members, was a credible threat. Al Qaeda leadership claim that the US is terribly weak and unable to even countenance such acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for your point, Our allies the Shia Iraqi's are the ones who perpetrated those deeds. The guys who benifited the most from our three trillion dollar excussion into Iraq, not the folks who's children we threatenned to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMS Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Awesome threatening the lives of innocent Children is bad because you say it is. If you cant explain why threatenning the lives of innocent children is bad, it probably is nothing more than the contiuning irrational hatred of all things Bush and Cheney.

Kilmer17 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Yes, I get it. We told bad guys we';d kill their kids if they didnt cooperate. Again, WHY IS THAT BAD? Did we actually kill their kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljs Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 has anyone else on here gone through SERE training? If so, then you completely undestand why the CIA, or anyone else interrogating someone would do that. Part of why they teach you certain things in SERE training, to include not revealing any personal info, to avoid the enemy from using that against you. To get up in arms over this tactic-well, you obviously just don't understand. I'll take this moment to quote one of my fav actresses, in one of my fav movies..."Suck my dick" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Has the OP, or the article he's linked to, been edited? The text that's quoted in the OP doesn't appear to be in the linked article. Nor does it seem to have anything to do with threatening to kill children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we actually kill their kids? exactly- We didn't. it's called a rouse. A fake punt if you will. You line up in punt formation- but hike the ball to RC and run for a 1st down. You interrogate a TERRORIST and LIE that you will kill their kids, you are faking- only to get them to admit their wrongs. Police do it all the time- It's nothing new people- this is NOT a Bush/Cheney issue. This has been done in every war throughout our history. You wanna get your panties in a bunch- go to the POW museum in Andersonville, GA. Then go protest the way OUR own servicemen were really treated when they are captured. Remember- these men and women fought for you, and your country. And you people want to get mad at Americans for how they ask a question to a terrorist??

So his point is fairly spot on. I suggest you learn the difference between shia and sunni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correctly reading that your (and others, I assume. I see other posters making similar statements.) position is that the US government is allowed to threaten to do anything?

PCS Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Says the person who's contribution was "suck my dick". Irrelevant Larry. Just what the hell were you thinking when you posted that?

No dude we may have hurt the poor terrorists feelings, don't you understand? ES amazes me sometimes , especially when we defend the feeelings of those that enjoy killing innocent people because thier Muslim faith tells them to. If we were kicking thier teeth, dragging them through our streets or chopping thier heads off on live TV I could see the point in being upset.
