One supporting argument for invading Iraq was because of Saddam's "Crimes Against Humanity." However, this prisoner is tortured because of the CIA's speculation that he is a high level al-Qaeda operative (which proved to be false) and because he must have information on other plots (also false). All this from former employees of the last Administration.
So because of 9/11, it is ok for the US to perform torture?

If your equating what Saddam did, to what the CIA did you lose all credibility.
Once again JD. What torture?
