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!

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.

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!

The cap is not as high quality as the one you linked, and it’s in two peices, but linked below is an even more complete youtube of the debate. (Adds about 4m30s to the beginning and about 55s to the end.) It appears to be the full segment:
