→Use of "Opponents of the US" phrase
The problem with this article is, and remains, no one can cite a credible source by name that says the US is using waterboarding as an interogation technique. All the charges amount to rumor and innuendo. The only citations that have ever been offered, anywhere, worldwide, stem from (a) escaped or released internees, or (b) anonymous sources attributed to being CIA employees. And as we all know as a result of the [[Valerie Plame]] Affair (1) CIA employees can become involved in [[partisan]] politcs (see [http://www.newsmeat.com/washington_political_donations/Valerie_Plame.php Valerie Plame Wilson Campaign contibutions)]and (2) it is illegal to ever disclose their names. Hence, the citations can never be attributed. See the new book, [http://www.amazon.com/Sabotage-Americas-Enemies-Within-CIA/dp/1596985100 ''Sabotage: America's Enemies Within the CIA,'']Rowan Scarborough, Regnery Publishing, Inc. (July 16, 2007). ISBN-10: 1596985100. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 15:36, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

:Is the [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-admits-waterboarding-terror-suspects-778808.html Director of the CIA] 'reputable' enough for you? --[[User:Gulik5|Gulik5]] 23:21, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

::Gulik, is there some urgent reason you are responding to a post nine months old? More to the point, linking to something where the CIA Director says:
''"'''We used it against these three detainees''' because of the circumstances at the time,(immediately following 9/11)" Mr Hayden
told the Senate Intelligence Committee."''
::That connotes nothing at odds with what RobS posted whatsoever, you pointing to a statement about something that happend to only three people, 7 years or so ago. --<font color="#1E90FF" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:TK|₮K]]</font><sup><font color="DC143C">[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</font></sup> 23:42, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
