Terrorist connections revealed vindicate CIA interrogation program that Attorney General Holder, President Obama, and the rest of this administration have denounced, shut down, and tried to criminalize. There really is a terror war against us.

The AP is reporting that:

U.S. counterterrorism officials have linked one of the nation’s most wanted terrorists to last year’s thwarted plot to bomb the New York City subway system, authorities said Wednesday. Current and former counterterrorism officials said top al-Qaida operative Adnan Shukrijumah met with one of the would-be suicide bombers in a plot that Attorney General Eric Holder called one of the most dangerous since the 9/11 terror attacks.

This is notable for at least two reasons.  First, the only reason we know that Shukrijumah is a “top al-Qaeda operative” is because of intelligence derived from the interrogations of two other “top al-Qaeda operatives” – Abu Zubaydah and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.  Which is to say, because of the very same CIA interrogation program that Attorney General Holder, President Obama, and the rest of this administration have denounced, shut down, and tried to criminalize.

As Thomas Joscelyn noted in this space last year, Shukrijumah came to be known as the “next Mohammed Atta”—a sleeper agent living in Florida who cased targets in the NYC area (possibly the subways) prior to 9/11 and who was planning a follow-on attack.
