Another good reason for a Truth Commission

alongside prosecutions of course:


"'The next day, he told his interrogators that Allah had visited him in his
cell during the night and told him to cooperate,' said Kiriakou in an
interview...

'From that day on, he answered every question,' Kiriakou said. 'The
threat information he provided disrupted a number of attacks, maybe dozens of
attacks.'"


(from the Christian Science Monitor)

Basically, everything we think we know about torture could be a crock of crap. Because Kiriakou was clearly lying out his butt when describing the entire Zubaydah interrogation - even though he was there. Once upon a time, Kiriakou's information was a touchstone. Perhaps he should be brought in for another interview.

Good news: Obama is open to a truth commission and it is up to Holder to determine whether prosecutions will happen.
