Saw the show. . .would love to hear Christiane's follow up per her 'you tube' explosion on Fox News.
And yes, re wter boarding vs water torture; while 'words mean things'; we know they do not and never will, to any Leftist worth his salt; and hence, always the soft lies embedded in all they say. . .and the 'hard lies' used to justify all they do. . .

Great exchange! Marc was great, as he didn’t look emotional, while Christiane did.

Thank you for the link to the full exchange.
Thiessen did an excellent job of hanging in there and getting out the important information despite the attempts to prevent him.
After listing thwarted attacks among which could have been an attack in London near where Mr. Sands’ office is located, Thiessen says,
“My question to Philippe is, which of the attacks would you prefer we hadn’t stopped”?
Priceless!

Full 8 minute video of Marc Thiessen racking Christiane Amanpour>>>>
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUl3iBN4PjI Important point from the video:
He thanked his interrogators for water-boarding him. He said "You must do this for all the brothers". Why did he do that? The reason he said he did that was because the jihadi philosophy is that Allah will prevail no matter what they do. So their moral responsibility is to resist as much as they can, and then once they have resisted, they are free to say as much as they want to do, they can spill their guts.
The main thing that waterboarding does is to give jihadis a face-saving way to surrender to the interrogators and cooperate.

Amanpour was the genius who informed the world that John Paul II was the “first Catholic Pope” in 200 years.
Of course, as the daughter of Mohammed Amanpour, an Iranian businessman, she may be a little shaky on Christian history.

Marc Thiessen must have felt as if he was being tortured (in the non-military sense) but held his own. when you have both the moderator and the other side's representative against you,it is tough to keep track of all the misstatements and get back to the points that must be made.
Thiessen handled himself well. He had the English academic speechless after Thiessen listed some of the terror attacks that were avoided as a result of enhanced interrogation - including offices in London perhaps near the academic’s office - and then asked him something like “Which of those planned attacked would you prefer had not been stopped?”
Bravo Marc Thiessen!

I’m sure glad CNN and Christiane Amanpour are ‘moderates’, ‘centrists’ with no ideology. I’d hate to see what their network would be if they were left-wing ideologues. ;^(

He did well. What these leftists don't get and don't want to know about is that we do water boarding quick and clean to get information not to torture
Plus why torture scum like Khalid Sheikh Muhammad when he just might appear in court some day?
The Khmer Rouge, The Inquisition and others have done water boarding in longer sessions to drive the subjects mad plus maybe brain damage is induced from lack of oxygen

CNN International is based out of London, its full of ex BBC staff. Its broadcast to Europe and especially the Middle East, most of its advertising targets Middle Eastern consumers and its editorial line is really biased towards Middle Eastern perceptions and coddles to their grievances.
Europe tolerates it because their own medias do the same things, look at France 2. Amanpour can get away it in Europe, but not in the States. Thank Goodness! Bravo FOX!
Many thanks!
Here in USA I never knew this and others must be in the same position
So the BBC commies get re-cycled into CNN International..... CNN Internationale is more accurate

“What these leftists don’t get and don’t want to know about is that we do water boarding quick and clean to get information not to torture.”
and it seems the CIA has only done it three times - and valuable information was obtained.
I hope Theissen continues to fight the good fight, and sells tons of books.

Although not using the "L" word itself, Marc Thiessen, in otherwise most certain terms, called Amanpour a liar
to her face, and then
affirmed and repeated the charge when Christiane said, "excuse me!?"
This was not only most excellent, it is essential. We can no longer allow leftists intent on stripping liberal societies of all effective lawful defenses against mass-murdering, fascistic nihilists to "excuse" themselves.
And, btw, what ever happened to the liberals who one day, though now decades past, used to be among the first in line to denounce and expose anti-liberal leftists like Amanpour and Sands? Are there no liberal liberals left? It would appear they've all either become conservatives, or willingly joined the illiberal left, or devolved into feckless "useful idiots".
