Three have been three people that the Bush Administration has acknowledged being weatherboarded. Zubaydah, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and one other. The one I am referring to is KSM. He is thought bo be to organizer of 9/11 and also personally beheaded Daniel Pearl.

Not only would it be illegal and immoral, there is very good reason to believe that we would not get the information that we would need to protect national security.
