Spending Money Unwisely

Nancy Pelosi has been on a spending spree of late. I am sure she does this all the time for her lavish wardrobe. This time though, it's with taxpayer money.

According to the New York Post, "Taxpayers have footed the bill for more than $16,000 in flowers sent from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi since she took power in January, it was revealed yesterday."

Syria's work?

Waterboarding Works

Apparently waterboarding does work. According to the NY Post, all it took was 35 seconds to get Abu Zubaydah to spill his guts about his conspirators. Zubaydah was a "top lieutenant to Osama bin Laden captured in March 2002." Since that day, he was very cooperative and answered all the CIA's questions.

If this tactic works this effectively on other terrorists, why not use it? Information from Zubaydah has apparently "disrupted a number of attacks, maybe dozens of attacks."
