PASADENA, USA--The Plum Line, a blog, recently refreshed the memory of former Bush Administration officials who have repeated the canard that torture in the months after 9/11 produced actionable intelligence about impending terrorist attacks. Those assertions are false. Robert Mueller, Bush's FBI director, was quoted in the December edition of Vanity Fair as stating that no attacks were prevented as a result of the application of torture to suspected terror suspects. The steaming pile of mendacity coming from the mouths of former Bush officials is as unseemly as it is despicable. Repeating a lie a million times does not make it the truth.
