According to current and former government officials, the CIA's secret waterboarding program was designed and assured to be safe by two well-paid psychologists now working out of an unmarked office building in Spokane, Washington.

well, their lives and those of their families just became a living hell as they become prime targets for al Qaeda

Well done ABC! Did you get that tingle up your leg remembering your indignation when Scooter Libby damaged “national security” by gossiping about the poor brave neurotic Agency shoe clerk aka Valerie PLame?

I agree! They deserve much more! They need to go down swinging. These guys were super covert and they just got phuqed in this witch hunt. If they fight back, many of us will be there with them.

When I’m doing very specialized work for short term I also ask something on the order of $1,000 a day. I don’t always get it and I never begrudge it to someone else.

A grand a day is low. Bill rates for specialized work usually start at $1,500 and can be an easy $2,500 and up.
