1.  List Abu Zubaydah's links to terrorism that were described in Terence Jeffrey's commentary.

2.  Consider the following:

• With waterboarding, the person being interrogated is placed on the floor with his head at a downward incline, and a sheet of plastic or cloth is draped over his head. Then water is poured over his head, which simulates drowning.
• The 9/11 Commission reported in 2004 that "On May 29, 2001 [Richard] Clarke suggested that [then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza] Rice ask DCI [George] Tenet what more the United States could do to stop Abu Zubaydah from launching 'a series of major terrorist' attacks.'"
• John Kiriakou, a CIA interrogator who had failed to get valuable information out of Zubaydah by softer means, and who did not participate in the water-boarding of Zubaydah in 2002, told the Washington Post this week that the waterboarding "was like flipping a switch."  Afterward, according to Kiriakou, Abu Zubaydah surrendered information that "probably saved lives," but that he now regards the tactic as torture.

Do you think that waterboarding was justified in the case of Abu Zubahdah?  Explain your answer
