Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)– On April 22, Fox News hosts Neil Cavuto, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity, and Fox News homeland security correspondent Catherine Herridge joined several other Fox News hosts and contributors in advancing former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen’s claim that the use of harsh interrogation techniques — including waterboarding — on Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (KSM) “stopped an attack on the Library Tower in Los Angeles.” However, the claim conflicts with the chronology of events put forth on multiple occasions by the Bush administration, as Slate.com’s Timothy Noah has noted. Indeed, the Bush administration said that the Library Tower attack was thwarted in February 2002 — more than a year before Mohammed was captured in March 2003.
