In case anyone doubts, the CIA confirms that waterboarding saved American lives.

This report seems to answer any question as to the efficacy of waterboarding. CIA Confirms: Waterboarding 9/11 Mastermind Led to Info that Aborted 9/11-Style Attack on Los Angeles.

In referring to Khalid Sheik Mohammed as KSM, the report says, "After he was subjected to the “waterboard” technique, KSM became cooperative, providing intelligence that led to the capture of key al Qaeda allies and, eventually, the closing down of an East Asian terrorist cell that had been tasked with carrying out the 9/11-style attack on Los Angeles."

If the attack had occurred, thousands of Americans may have been killed.

The American people have a right to know the facts in order to judge decisions of both the Bush and Obama administrations.
