Wilkerson Can't Keep His Cheney Story Straight »

Posted By FairNBalanced 9 months, 3 weeks ago in News

You will recall that Wilkerson recently came forward with a tale about how Vice President Cheney ordered enhanced interrogation techniques be used on a top al Qaeda operative in order to gin up phony intelligence connecting Iraq and al Qaeda. This, Wilkerson claimed, happened months before the techniques were approved by the Bush administration's lawyers.

    Wilkerson says that Cheney ordered the techniques used on an al Qaeda terrorist in "April and May 2002" and it didn't stop until Ibn Shaykh al Libi, who Wilkerson says was waterboarded by a foreign intelligence service, revealed such links. The problem is that al Libi discussed links between Iraq and al Qaeda in February 2002--two months before Wilkerson claims that VP Cheney supposedly ordered the enhanced techniques used. Therefore, it could not have been al Libi's admission that stopped the "torture" of another al Qaeda terrorist two months later.

    This is the part that should raise suspicions

    FTA:
    Wilkerson said this:

    "My assumption that it came from the Vice President's office I think is based on pretty firm ground."

    If you have hard evidence you don't have to make "assumptions"

    Its pretty obvious, the party of Greed and loathing and fear is running on spite. None of you tools want justice for Cheney's breaking every law, committing the highest treason, war profiteering, enriching the rich, and murdering 5000 americans for a neocon zionist lie.

    No, you'll just parrot Murdocks zombie news readers on faux noise, you take your marching orders from a foreign national Billionaire Tabloid Mogul, an america hating racist withered Billionaire.

    But cons never saw a saudi oil sheik they wouldn't bend over for.
