About the only thing John Kiriakou says that I'll consider valid is that he's now of the opinion that waterboarding is torture, is unnecessary...and was ordered from the very top people within the Bush administration.
The assertion that they got ANYTHING useful from Abu Zubaydah is dubious at best...besides, what idiots would trust them NOW after some seven years of lies? Nope, I call bullshit, particularly given that they willingly and deliberately destroyed evidence.
My guess is that Shrub, regardless of his true feelings, was told to maintain deniability for his own good...Cheney almost certainly was in on it, the sadistic creep, along with Rumsfeld. Asscrossed might have had a general idea, no pun intended, but was probably insulated for the same reasons as Shrub. NSA Rice? Who knows?
As for the myriad underlings and/or fall guys? Well, given Democratic complicity in some of this, I doubt any are in danger, and certainly none have become John Dean-like figures. Besides, when you've got people getting away with this, I doubt seriously that anything will happen to those who, in wingnut/pinhead "thought", are merely "interrogating the wogs."
Ugh.
