...trained for six years at Le Benardin julienning carrots and perfecting his flambé. What was that? No, unfortunately, at the present time we do not prepare beef tacos, though high demand may necessitate a reconsideration of our current bill of fare. It is possible, however, that ramen noodles al dente—a staple of your demographic, we hear—are currently available, though naturally an 18-percent surcharge will apply...
...procedure 183 times) that we learned about a "Second Wave" of attacks. There has been little heard since about the "Second Wave," so without more documents declassified, it can be assumed that KSM made it up to stop the waterboarding. In another memo, it is noted that senior Al Qaeda member Abu Zubaydah was tortured into admitting KSM was the 9/11 mastermind.

...short run, CIA morale will be hurt by yet another investigation. But at the same time it will force the agency to take a much needed honest look at its reporting on al-Qaeda. One memo notes that in 2004 the CIA obtained half of its reporting on this organization from detainees, many of whom "confessed" under abusive interrogation.

Defenders of waterboarding say that the procedure, while awful for the prisoner, is relatively safe and has few long-term effects. But doctors and psychologists who work with torture victims disagree strongly. They say that victims of American waterboarding-like the Chileans submitted to the submarino under Pinochet-are likely to be psychologically damaged for life...
...first coaching job as an assistant at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, Calif., in 1960. His idiosyncratic coaching style there and later as head coach at San Diego State made him popular among his players and gained the attention of another individualist: Al Davis, the cantankerous owner of the Oakland Raiders. Madden served as Raiders head coach from 1969-1978, during which the Raiders never had a losing season, won their division seven times and the Super Bowl in 1977. Famous for his wild sideline gestures and unruly shock of hair, Madden was a gifted team builder, taking risks...
