CIA agent who says he witnessed waterboarding, now says he did not..
Another poster child of those who love waterboarding, this guy was heralded as a hero, is retracting his story because it was based on hearsay..he overheard a conversation..
Zubaydah had in fact been waterboarded at least 83 times....
Maybe he could be the next candidate, somewhere..
CIA Man Retracts Claim on Waterboarding | Foreign Policy

Quote:
What I told Brian Ross in late 2007 was wrong on a couple counts," he writes. "I suggested that Abu Zubaydah had lasted only thirty or thirty-five seconds during his waterboarding before he begged his interrogators to stop; after that, I said he opened up and gave the agency actionable intelligence."
When I spoke to ABC News in December 2007 I was aware of Abu Zubaydah being water boarded on one occasion. It was after this one occasion that he revealed information related to a planned terrorist attack. As I said in the original interview, my information was second-hand. I never participated in the use of enhanced techniques on Abu Zubaydah or on any other prisoner, nor did I witness the use of such techniques."
