The Black Banners (Declassified): How Torture Derailed the War on Terror after 9/11

By: Ali H. Soufan

Everyone needs thread this book, it's going to piss you off no regardless of your political ilk.

A new, fully uncensored edition of the definitive insider's account of the War on Terror

'A former FBI agent's memoir on the War on Terror is declassified after 9 years' Time

'One of the most valuable and detailed accounts of its subject to appear in the past decade' Economist

The ultimate insider's account of the battle against terrorism, Ali Soufan's revelatory account of his history-making decade as the FBI's lead investigator into al-Qaeda shaped our understanding of counter-terror operations - and led to hard questions being asked of American and British leaders.

When The Black Banners was first published in 2011, significant portions of the text were redacted. After a CIA review those restrictions have been lifted, and the result is this explosive new edition, The Black Banners (Declassified). Alongside a new foreword by Soufan, the declassified documents uncover shocking details on the use of torture on terror suspects, how these 'enhanced interrogation techniques' failed to secure reliable intelligence, and in fact actively derailed the fight against al-Qaeda. By contrast we see Soufan at work using empathy and intelligent questioning - not force or violence - to extract some of the most important confessions in the war.

Taking us from the interrogation rooms where Soufan would share food and films with the suspects so he could bond with them, to the hideouts of bin Laden, Ali Soufan reveals with intimate, first-hand knowledge the unbelievable truth about America's security agencies, 9/11, and the global 'War on Terror'.

Purified by Peter Annan

The history up to present on waste water recycling. Sometimes called "toilet to tap".

Pretty surprised what cities are recycling waste or planning to. MACS old San Diego area and Jacksonville are doing it. Many major cities including Los Angeles and even areas in Wisconsin and many in Texas, etc.

Yeah... and y'all wonder why I buy bottled water by the cases at Costco and Sam's...

Wasn't drinking from the tap in Temecula, ain't doing it here. Any water out the tap gets boiled/heated and used for coffee.

Poor puppy dog... he drinks tap water. Doesn't seem to care.

All water except the ashes from burning hydrogen and oxygen, is recycled. I prefer to think the water I'm drinking is recycled from maiden's dew and not cat piss, but you really never know. Well, you never know unless the purification process is faulty or improperly done.

It's how the planet works, just like every time you sell a fart that molecule came from someones ass.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

My first and last apocalyptic novel.

A weird Azz selection for a vacation read.

$50 worth of misery for a fifteen cent payoff of Hope in the end?

I need a better return.

My best friend said it was excellent. My son said it was the best, awful book he’s ever read.

After finishing The Road, I don’t think I have the stomach for Blood Meridian.

When finished, post here what you think (please).

Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy.

Well written "journey" book about a teenager/young man who joins a band of roving outlaws/bounty hunters who travel through the wild and unsettled American frontier and then south into Mexico, chasing and killing Indians for scalps, running from the Mexican Army and large bands of Indians. There are stories about the individuals within this group, their complicated relationships and their wild times in small towns, as well as the unusual cast of characters they encounter on their travels. It is a vivid description of the land though which they travel, to and back from Mexico, into Arizona, on to California and then to Texas. Both historically set and detailed geographically, one can see the land around them as they rove as well as feel the raw violence the men wreak.
