" Waterboarding, she said, "was used when there was no other way to get information that was necessary."

WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina may not be a career politician, but a new interview sheds light on some of her firsthand experience in the national security realm.

In a Yahoo News interview published Monday, Fiorina said that shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, she redirected trucks full of Hewlett-Packard servers on their way to retail stores to Fort Meade, Maryland, upon request of then-National Security Agency director Michael Hayden.

Hayden told Yahoo he remembered telling Fiorina, then head of HP, “Carly, I need stuff and I need it now.” The NSA needed the servers to implement the controversial “Stellar Wind” warrantless wiretapping program.

The world changed on 9-11-01. Unfortunately we have to change a little with it...We may not like all the changes and some of them were probably even wrong, but we haven't had a repeat performance....

I am opposed to both of these. First, torture is known not to be the most effective method of information extraction not to mention that it clearly violates the prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment. Second, warrantless wiretaps violate the 4th amendment. Regardless of the reasons for doing so, if we violate the constitution and the principles on which this nation was founded we trample on the very thing we swore to protect. If we violate our principles then we cease being what makes us American.

You like Waterboarding? Tell me what you think after SERE Training. I have not a lot of use for this "Lady" and I use the term very loosely in her case.
