Bush’s FBI Director Said Torture Didn’t Foil Any Terror Plots

I am now refusing to think anymore today about torture because I am truly finding the whole twisted travesty sickening and demoralizing. Thank you Greg-

Robert Mueller, who was appointed by Bush in 2001 and remains FBI director under Obama, delivered that assessment at the end of this December 2008 article in Vanity Fair on torture:

I ask Mueller: So far as he is aware, have any attacks on America been disrupted thanks to intelligence obtained through what the administration still calls “enhanced techniques”?

“I’m really reluctant to answer that,” Mueller says. He pauses, looks at an aide, and then says quietly, declining to elaborate: “I don’t believe that has been the case.”

That stands in direct contrast to Dick Cheney’s recent claim that torture has been “enormously valuable” in terms of “preventing another mass-casualty attack against the United States.”

And in direct contrast to what is being said by 3/4's of the talking heads. Oh, this guy agrees with Mueller.
