Karl Rove: Waterboarding Worked

I snagged this from Don Surber at the Charleston WV Daily Mail: He's good.
"In the months following 9/11, the Bush administration had to get intelligence information and get it fast. The capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — the man who plotted out the 9/11 attack — was a gold mine.
The first thing he did was assert “his” 5th Amendment right and demand a lawyer.
He got waterboarded instead.
He sang like a bird.
Two others were waterboarded.
America and the world was safer.
So safe that the waterboarding was politicized.
The American people are not that stupid.
58% called for the waterboarding of the Christmas Day bomber, Rasmussen reported.
Now as Karl Rove peddles his book, the BBC reported: “In a BBC interview, Karl Rove, who was known as ‘Bush’s brain,’ said he ‘was proud we used techniques that broke the will of these terrorists.’ He said waterboarding, which simulates drowning, should not be considered torture.”
Eat it, critics.
