Andrew Sullivan has a snarky post up on Daily Dish about a soldier who waterboarded his own child. Sullivan writes:
No doubt Marc Thiessen will object that since she wasn’t strapped to an actual board and only dunked three or four times, rather than 183, and her father wasn’t in the CIA, she wasn’t really “waterboarded” as the professionals do it. But do you notice how a foreign newspaper uses plain English to describe torturing victims by use of near-drowning: the “CIA torture technique.” No US paper has yet to report the story. Why am I not surprised?
That’s the best Sullivan can come up with? In Courting Disaster, I systematically decimate the specious and shameful comparisons he has made between the CIA’s interrogation techniques and the tortures inflicted by the Gestapo on members of the Norwegian resistance (yes, the Gestapo — Sullivan has even written that the CIA’s actions were more severe than the tortures inflicted by the Gestapo).
I demolish his arguments, and he clearly he has no answer — because all he has come up with since my book came out are childish posts like this.
Why am I not surprised?
