Few years ago by chance it happens to me read this book. (Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11 Gerald L. Posner Random House). Clearly fulfilling political order from his masters the author in one instance describing torture of Al Qaeda captive in terrifying details, shamelessly brandishing by his intimate knowledge of what's being done. There was much more than waterboarding. The book is unequivocal, self-evident proof of what led us to today's outcome.
