A real life Jack Bauer?

No, just a guy trying to convince the public that waterboarding really, truly does work, especially when your torture subject isn't too tightly wrapped in the first place.
He described Abu Zubaida as ideologically zealous, defiant and uncooperative -- until the day in mid-summer when his captors strapped him to a board, wrapped his nose and mouth in cellophane and forced water into his throat in a technique that simulates drowning.

The waterboarding lasted about 35 seconds before Abu Zubaida broke down, according to Kiriakou, who said he was given a detailed description of the incident by fellow team members. The next day, Abu Zubaida told his captors he would tell them whatever they wanted, Kiriakou said.

"He said that Allah had come to him in his cell and told him to cooperate, because it would make things easier for his brothers," Kiriakou said.
God speaks to George W Bush, too, and we all know how reliable his statements are. Still, it would be fun to waterboard him.
