A courtroom artist's sketch of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the primary suspect in the 9/11 attacks. (Janet Hamlin)
WASHINGTON: In a makeshift prison in the north of Poland, Al Qaeda's engineer of mass murder faced off against his Central Intelligence Agency interrogator. It was 18 months after the 9/11 attacks, and the invasion of Iraq was giving Muslim extremists new motives for havoc. If anyone knew about the next plot, it was Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.
The interrogator, Deuce Martinez, a soft-spoken analyst who spoke no Arabic, had turned down a CIA offer to be trained in waterboarding. He chose to leave the infliction of pain and panic to others, the gung-ho paramilitary types whom the more cerebral interrogators called "knuckledraggers."

In the rest of the article, he tells how we caught a couple of the terrorists as well as some details of their interrogation. At least we know where the unbiased "jourrrrrnalist" stands on waterboarding.
By the way, the jackass depicted above was also the guy who beheaded Dan Perl on video. I wonder how the jourrrrrnalist stands on beheading.

Not much after his head is lopped off. Maybe just a couple of sucking gurgles
