Hawaii isn't US soil now? :think2:
Correction...they planned on taking two shots with the technique.
Thankfully, George W Bush and Dick Cheney, without regard for political consequences did the right thing and saved many thousands of lives.

Khalid Sheik Mohammad, a top al Qaeda leader who divulged information -- after being waterboarded -- that allowed the U.S. government to stop a planned terrorist attack on Los Angeles.
(CNSNews.com) - The Central Intelligence Agency told CNSNews.com today that it stands by the assertion made in a May 30, 2005 Justice Department memo that the use of “enhanced techniques” of interrogation on al Qaeda leader Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM) -- including the use of waterboarding -- caused KSM to reveal information that allowed the U.S. government to thwart a planned attack on Los Angeles.
Before he was waterboarded, when KSM was asked about planned attacks on the United States, he ominously told his CIA interrogators, “Soon, you will know.”
According to the previously classified May 30, 2005 Justice Department memo that was released by President Barack Obama last week, the thwarted attack -- which KSM called the “Second Wave”-- planned “ ‘to use East Asian operatives to crash a hijacked airliner into’ a building in Los Angeles.”

HELL-A????
Shit man, they should have just turned a blind eye and let that go down.

Osama is dead.
We had all the reasons in the world to take down Iraq...UN Cease Fire Agreements as good a reason as any...and completely legal...US and International law to boot. Not to mention most Dems completely agreed with the premise and are on record saying so.
George was just desperately trying to make the UN and the Dems somewhat relevant.
Hey, if anyone wants to believe the CIA obstructed a supposed plan to hijack a flight out of LAX, more power to ya.
Any such plan - if it ever existed - would have been unsuccessful as no crew and/or collection of passengers would have ever permitted such a hijacking to be carried out.
I have faith in my fellow Americans. But if one would prefer to place their faith in GW Bush, then I suggest sending them a thank you card for whatever level of safety you think you enjoy that you did not enjoy prior to Jan 20, 2001

CIA leaks against the Bush administration were always considered the gospel truth by the global MSM and the left leaning lemmings in this forum.
Can't have it both ways.
Cherry picking is fun.
