ABC Outs Psychologists Who Developed CIA Waterboarding Program

ABC’s Brian Ross, Matthew Cole, and Joseph Rhee have exposed Them and their families are at dire risk now.
ABC’s Shame
ABC runs a report showing the names and faces of two CIA contractors who may have had a role in the waterboarding of KSM and Abu Zubaydah. The network apparently outsourced this report to a freelancer named Matthew Cole, whose record in Nexis includes just three bylines — two stories for Salon (one of which about “how Bush administration aid to Pakistan helps fund insurgents who kill U.S. troops”), and one for the San Jose Mercury News just two days after 9/11 reporting “anxiety about a backlash” among Muslims, who assure the reporter that the attack “has nothing to do with Islam.”
In other words, Cole is a left-wing partisan with questionable reporting chops. This is obvious from the quality of the story tonight. Cole repeats the now throughly debunked claim that Zubaydah and KSM were waterboarded 83 and 183 times respectively. He posts video of the two refusing to answer questions in what is staged as a faux perp walk with no discernible news value other than to portray them as criminals. And, most amazingly, Cole indicts the two men for not having any experience prior to their work for the CIA — as though being “previously involved in the U.S. military program to train pilots how to survive behind enemy lines and resist brutal tactics” isn’t relevant.
ABC’s conduct here, exposing two men who will now become obvious targets for terrorists and left-wing extremists, is deplorable. Will the Obama administration investigate who leaked their identities? Or is it now open-season on Americans who were only doing what their government asked of them in order to protect their country from attack?
ABC news it is a 3 page article, pleaae click link to read it there, thank you.

ABC’s piece is about how these two guys masterminded the CIA’s program — while allegedly not really knowing what they were doing.
Both Mitchell and Jessen were previously involved in the U.S. military program to train pilots how to survive behind enemy lines and resist brutal tactics if captured.
But it turns out neither Mitchell nor Jessen had any experience in conducting actual interrogations before the CIA hired them.
“They went to two individuals who had no interrogation experience,” said Col. Kleinman. “They are not interrogators.”
The new documents show the CIA later came to learn that the two psychologists’ waterboarding “expertise” was probably “misrepresented” and thus, there was no reason to believe it was “medically safe” or effective. The waterboarding used on al Qaeda detainees was far more intense than the brief sessions used on U.S. military personnel in the training classes.
“The use of these tactics tends to increase resistance on the part of the detainee to cooperating with us. So they have the exact opposite effect of what you want,” said Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich).
The new memos also show waterboarding was used “with far greater frequency than initially indicated” to even those in the CIA.

Wild Thing’s comment………
ABC News just pushed these two men to the top of Al Qaeda’s hit list. If anything happens to them, Brian Ross will have their blood on his pathetic hands.
God bless Mark Levin, he talked about this on his show and he was screaming and cussing about it.
Over on Drudge it was titled:

ABCNEWS OUTS ‘ARCHITECTS’ BEHIND CIA WATERBOARDING, INTERROGATIONS…
NAMES NAMES, SHOWS THEIR FACES…

ABC meant to endanger these people. While all this is going on violence in Iraq and Pakistan is ramping up. The terrorists have to be encouraged by the turn of US politics aided by the media.
When we are successfully attacked again, the reason for our enemies’ success will be because of malignant fools like Brian Ross and Co., who apparently don’t believe in self defense.
