He may be lying about lying maybe we should waterboard him to see if he's telling the truth.

John Kiriakou, the ex-CIA operative who rocked the torture debate back in 2007 by claiming that waterboarding swiftly drew information from Abu Zubaydah, now admits that he made it all up. Back then Kiriakou said that one waterboarding broke Zubaydah. “From that day on, he answered every question,”...

I'd waterboard a terrorist 830 times not just 83 times if that's what achieved results. Waterboarding isn't really torture. It doesn't kill. It doesn't mame. It doesn't permanently damage or disfigure. Vietnamese were torturers. From the following website: War Crimes

Vietnamese torture took many forms, but basically, according to returned POWs, it boiled down to four types:

beatings which either permanently crippled or killed the prisoner,

deprivation of food and rest,

solitary confinement for months at a time,

and the intentional denial of medical treatment.

I believe he is referring to the Hypocrite Oath. All government employees are required to recite this oath.


Funny Moot!! Now, if you are talking about Obama defending and protecting our Constitution, you know, that oath, then he most likely is lying!!

The guy in the CIA took an oath to up hold the constitution, which to many means keeping his mouth shut in order not to damage this country.

Torture or not, his obligation is to do a job that may be nasty and not talk about it. Like others who have set themselves up to write books where they uncovered "stuff", it looks like he did it for monetary gain, nothing else which speaks about his lack of ethics and his credibility.

The guy in the CIA took an oath to up hold the constitution,

Of course he did. But first he took the Hypocrite Oath which supersedes all other oaths. The Hypocrite Oath allows people like Al Gore to preach about global warming while jetting around the world with his entourage and living in a large energy wasting mansion. It allows Larry Craig to denounce homosexuals while seeking a hand job in a men's room. The Hypocrite Oath empowers Obama to not do what he says and not say what he does.

The Hypocrite Oath, don't go to Washington without it.


I wonder if Dr. Kervorkian took the Hypocrite Oath prior to taking the Hippocratic Oath?
