Illegal Torture Used To Defend An Illegal War

We were attacked by Saudis living in America backed by Osama Bin Laden, a Saudi. The terrorists of 9/11 lived in America, took flying lessons here, rented apartments, spoke English.

Bin Laden's Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan around the time of September 2001.

Look at the map below. Why are we in Iraq torturing people for years? Get past a 4 year-old's grasp of "bad people" and show me the connection. Al Qaeda was not in Hussein's Iraq.

Better yet, explain knowing there was no WMD and no connection to Hussein and Al Qaeda.

"More and more the timeline is raising the question of why, if the torture was to prevent terrorist attacks, it seemed to happen mainly during the period when we were looking for what was essentially political information to justify the invasion of Iraq."
