9/11 - it looks like they are going with 9/11 to counter the torture report

As DU'er spanone detailed at link the RW noise machine was basically silent on Tuesday when the Senate report came out

My Facebook friends who will typically post the most crazed RW talking points/gifs (from Allen West to ijreview to Western Journalism to the more standard Fox News nonsense) have been remarkably silent. Today the first posts are coming out. Pictures of jumpers on 9/11 with "Waterboarding - because we need to stop this from happening" and so forth.

A bit more here (but not much)

9/11 happened not thru lack of intelligence, but because the agencies did not know how to react to the info they had. Numerous sources had told US agents that an attack on US soil was planned.

So what makes the CIA think that more information by torture will help them prevent more attacks?
