Factor Follow Up Segment
Verbal brawl between the CIA and FBI over waterboarding
Former CIA agent Jose Rodriguez, who was involved in the waterboarding of suspected terrorists, insists that enhanced interrogation helped foil terror plots and saved lives. Former FBI agent Ali Soufan entered the No Spin Zone with a different view. “Mr. Rodriguez is totally wrong,” Soufan pronounced. “The CIA’s own investigation of the program revealed that not one imminent attack was stopped because of enhanced interrogation techniques. I don’t think we need waterboarding to save lives.” But The Factor maintained that enhanced interrogation may have prevented attacks. “You weren’t there when Abu Zubaydah was being waterboarded and Rodriguez says the waterboarding led to very vital intelligence and saved thousands of lives. If I were you, I don’t think I could call him a liar if I wasn’t there.”
