Don't tell me we learned all he knew about the plotters in Yemen in one sitting!
In August of last year, the Washington Post ran a fascinating article titled "How a Detainee Became An Asset: Sept. 11 Plotter Cooperated After Waterboarding." The article describes the lengthy process that CIA agents went through to extract the intelligence from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed that was vital to stopping future plots and rounding up Al Queda terrorists. Former CIA Director George Tenet declared that this program saved countless lives and was "worth more than the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency put together." One of the first things President Obama did when he took office was to disband the CIA unit that has such great success. Instead, when the Christmas bomber was taken into custody after his plot to blow up Northwest Airlines flight 253 over Detroit, he talked to local FBI agents, not terrorism experts, for only 50 minutes.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs Sunday defended the decision to read so-called alleged underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab his Miranda rights after 50 minutes of interrogation, saying that ”FBI interrogators believe they got valuable intelligence and were able to get all that they could out of him.” ... “That decision was made by the Justice Department and the FBI by experienced FBI interrogators, Gibbs said on “Fox News Sunday.” “But make no mistake Abdulmutallab was interrogated and valuable information was gotten by those experienced interrogators.”It took weeks, even months, of interrogation to check and cross check the information provided by high level detainees like KSM. CIA interrogators were able to go back to KSM repeatedly as they put together the pieces of the puzzle. But local FBI agents stopped interrogating Abdulmutallab after one brief session?After he was read his rights, Abdulmutallab stopped cooperating with investigators.
“The Department of Justice made the right decision, as did those FBI agents,” Gibbs said.

Liberals are going to get us all killed.
Pray for America’s Freedom
Do you feel like your tax dollars are paying for competent government? Or do you feel like big government is overcharging you and providing you with a very shoddy product?
“Liberals are going to get us all killed.”
I think that says it all...and it’s scary to think about.
Intelligence Ties to The Underwear Bomber
I don't know if I believe this, but it does seem to provide answers.
I'm not saying it's not true, but once one starts entertaining conspiracy theories, where do you stop.
I for one don't believe that our various intelligence agencies are particularly good at working together, maybe just barely so for legitimate purposes and certainly not for something so complex as profit on a grand scale.
