Is the pipe on the left a vent or a drain? Once a drain, always a drain. You may need to open up some of the wall to determine what you need to do. Which side of the whole thing do you want to install the sink on?
I was hoping to complete an installation of a utility sink into an adjacent washing machine drain. I spent a good amount of time studying another thread on here, and it has helped a lot, but I'm not exactly sure how to adapt the recommendation to my current setup. The example that was given in the other thread is this:
And the drain/vent situation I have looks like this:
So, my questions:
- Does the washing machine drain have to be below the sink (as it is in the example), or can the sink be below?
- If the sink is lower, than obviously it would need the vent "bypass" rather than the washing machine. Could I run this "bypass" to the neighboring vent stack (on the left in the picture) rather than the one the washer uses?
Thanks very much for the help. I can't seem to find anyone who has a definite idea on the proper way to do this. I'm in Anchorage, which I believe is UPC if that is significant.
Thanks again,

We would be allowed to plumb the sink over the washer as long as the vent is indeed a vent. Problem in your case might be that the sink is too low. Sometimes it is easier to raise the sink rather than reconfigure the plumbing.
As long as the washer and the sink are vented before they combine in a waste stack you would be okay. Then the two vents can tie together.
Sometimes it's easier to cut out what little you have there and start from scratch. A blank sheet is so much easier.
For one thing, the washer standpipe you have is longer than it needs to be.
Or if you have room for it, you can still put the sink in above the tee for the washer. You will need to increase to 2" above the santee though.
Thanks everyone for the help. This is already clearing things up. To follow-up: the sink will be to the left of the washer. I do plan to remove most of the existing washer drain/vent and re-do it to incorporate the addition. My main hope is that I can do everything without removing drywall or certainly not cement.
Can the horizontal run from the sanitary tee to the street-trap adapter for the sink be 1-1/2" instead of 2"? The vent above the sanitary-tee is 1-1/2", and the washer drain is 2".
Thanks again,
Lower the washing machine connection and install the sink connection above it and ALL your venting questions are taken care of. The branch to the sink can be 1 1/2".

But I don't have much room to lower the washing machine connection--only about 1" or so below is where the coupling is to go to cast iron.
So if I connect the sink above the washing machine I don't need any vent changes? Do you mean I can just add another san-tee on top of the washing machines, and it would lead to the sink? Wouldn't I then just have the same situation as that example I posted originally, but without the vent bypass?
In Arizona, you can put the laundry tray above the washer if the santee is a 2x2x1.5
Most other places would require that the washer has it's own vent.
If it's being inspected, you can ask your inspector what he will pass.
I like to show pictures that pass everywhere. It's less confusing that way.
Doesnt this distance need to be a minimum of two inside pipe diameters???

3730 Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV, 89158
Location: Strip
Type: Clubs And Lounges
As the largest of Aria's nightlife attractions, Haze draws crowds every night it's open -- in part due to a regular influx of special musical guests, celebrities and DJs including Ludacris, LMFAO and Laidback Luke.
The club is modestly-sized, with an elevated DJ booth directly facing the dance floor. On the other side of the DJ booth, there are a few VIP tables, with another row of VIP tables to the right.
Haze has three bars -- two downstairs and one upstairs, and you'll actually find that a lot of the people gravitate toward the secondary room where one bar is located, or just hang around the main bar close to the dance floor. These aren't quite separate from the rest of the club, so they don't exactly have their own separate vibe like at a club with fully distinct rooms, but they do give you an alternative spot to get comfortable at.
Near the entrance, you'll catch an interesting see-through wall, which peers into a room usually featuring two performing women inside. You might run into them passing out shots later on, as the entertainment in this room rotates throughout the night.
Besides the bar on the second level, there are some VIP booths, mostly of those overlooking the dance floor. Everything at Haze is located pretty central to the dance floor, so you're never too far from the action.

BOSTON, Mass. (Ivanhoe Newswire) - Is there something just a little bit off about one of your friends, family members, or co-workers? While they may not suffer from a mental disorder, they could be closer than you think.
Psychopaths have a chronic mental disorder that causes abnormal or violent social behavior. The book "Almost a Psychopath" said top jobs for psychopaths include lawyers, journalists, surgeons, and chefs.
Harvard Medical school doctor Ron Schouten said there are also "almost psychopaths."
"Lack of empathy, indifference to right or wrong," Ronald Schouten, M.D., J.D., from Harvard Medical School, Co-Author of Almost a Psychopath told Ivanhoe.
"It's hard to imagine, but think about a person that doesn't care about anybody but themselves," explains James Silver, J.D., Co-Author of Almost a Psychopath.
Criminal defense lawyer James Silver believes about one in seven people fit the description.
"We're confident that there are tens of millions of almost psychopaths in the United States. And these are people that you have to deal with," Silver said.
They wrote the book on almost psychopaths. They say watch out for these signs: superficial charm, arrogance, pathological lying, and lack of remorse.
And be careful in relationships. Almost psychopaths may come on strong.
"So suddenly you find yourself in a relationship going much too fast and you are the giver and they are consistently the taker," says Dr. Schouten.
Also called successful psychopaths, at work they may cozy up to you just to steal your ideas.
"They're not really interested in helping the team. They are only interested in helping themselves. Then in the end they try to take credit for more than they should," Silver explained.
Some may want to raise awareness, because they may be hard to avoid.
"I'd say there's no way to never deal with an almost psychopath. The idea though is to understand that it isn't your fault if you've been fooled," concluded Silver.
If you're worried you might be almost a psychopath yourself — relax. The fact that the idea concerns you at all is a good sign that you're not one. But if you take pride in the idea, you could have a problem. For more information on almost psychopaths, visit www.thealmosteffect.com
ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER: Psychopaths can be individuals with an extreme case of antisocial personality disorder. If someone has antisocial personality disorder that means that their ways of thinking, how they perceive situations and relate to others is out of the ordinary and sometimes destructive. Often times the words psychopath and sociopath are used interchangeably, although some have tried to distinguish differences between the two terms. A trademark of antisocial personality disorder is that people with the disorder may have no regard for right and wrong, which can lead to destructive behaviors. (Source: www.mayoclinic.com)
SIGNS: Some signs of antisocial personality disorder include:
CAUSE: Not everyone agrees on what makes a person have antisocial personality disorder. Typically, people either believe the personality disorder is innate or is a result of the individual's environment; it could also be a combination of two. Environmental factors that some believe could lead to antisocial personality disorder include things like being abused as a child or not experiencing love from parents or family members during childhood. (Source: www.mayoclinic.com)
WHAT TO DO: If someone around you demonstrates the signs of antisocial personality disorder, they will most likely not view this as a problem that needs to be treated. This means that treatment is typically very difficult, especially because many people with the personality disorder are very deceitful. People with loved ones with antisocial personality disorder may want to seek help for them in order to learn coping skills as well as how to protect themselves from the manipulation and aggression associated with the disorder.

Electivire's best trait is the amazing coverage that it obtains, allowing it to hit almost every Pokemon for super effective damage. Electivire also has generally high offensive stats to utilize its coverage with, while also outpacing most of the metagame with its above average Speed. In addition, unlike most other Electric-types, Electivire is primarily a physical attacker, which allows it to defeat Slowking easier, and access to Flamethrower enables to hit certain physical walls, such as Tangrowth and Amoonguss, harder than others. Unfortunately, Electivire still struggles against bulky Pokemon that it cannot hit super effectively such as Uxie, Crustle, and Spiritomb, and it can rarely OHKO its foes even with super effective attacks. This, combined with its frailty, entry hazard susceptibility, and recoil from Life Orb and its main STAB move in Wild Charge, wears Electivire down fast. Electivire also lacks a viable way to boost its offensive stats, making it struggle heavily defensively-oriented teams, often going down on its own accord. Electivire has many flaws, but it's overall a very unique Electric-type and is good at wearing down the opposition with its impeccable coverage and offensive prowess.
Electivire's best traits are shown in this set—namely, a significant amount of coverage. As one of the few physically offensive Electric-types, it plays differently from other Electric-types in the tier. With that in mind, it's important to know that even though the listed moves can 2HKO most of the metagame, Electivire cannot OHKO very many Pokemon, and the opponent can predict around it while it wears itself out with recoil damage. As a result, it works best as a late-game attacker, letting its teammates weaken the opponent and lay entry hazards until it goes in for the KO.
In DPP, Electivire lacked a strong STAB option, but BW gifted it with Wild Charge, somewhat fulfilling that wish. As a result, it's Electivire's preferred STAB move, as it comes off of Electivire's higher Attack stat and covers dangerous threats such as Slowking, Qwilfish, Moltres, and Kabutops. Flamethrower complements Wild Charge well, hitting common physical walls such as Steelix and Tangrowth hard, as both are immune to or resist Electric-type moves. Earthquake is mainly for opposing Electric-types, which it can typically get a free switch into thanks to Motor Drive, Fire-type Pokemon such as Typhlosion and Entei, and Aggron. Finally, Ice Punch is useful to get a strong hit on Druddigon and Ground-type Pokemon.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Electivire has other options to consider, but they are rarely worth using. The first of which is Vital Spirit, which is a useful ability in a tier where sleep inducers such as Lilligant and Smeargle are common. While Vital Spirit is useful, Motor Drive makes Electivire a much scarier late-game sweeper. Some of Electivire's best checks, mainly bulky Ground-types, are hit hard by Hidden Power Grass, but Ice Punch does enough damage to most of them, and the ones it doesn't do very much against are rare or defeat it regardless. Electivire's only means of setup is via Meditate, but finding the opportunity to set up with Electivire is tough, though it could be worth it. Cross Chop is useful for hitting Clefable and other Normal-types, but its use essentially stops there, and its other moves are typically more useful. Electivire's strongest move is actually Focus Punch despite the fact that it lacks a STAB boost, so it is capable of running a decent SubPunch set, aided by the fact that it causes a lot of switches. Unfortunately, using two moveslots ultimately limits Electivire's coverage immensely, and even though its Focus Punch is strong, it pales in comparison to other SubPunch users that get a STAB boost. Finally, Electivire's decent offensive stats, good movepool, and access to Volt Switch allow it to utilize all Choice items effectively, but the main issue is that it cannot switch moves in this case, which is Electivire's most useful trait.
Checks and Counters
Not very many Pokemon can counter Electivire due to its high offensive stats and amazing coverage, but Electivire struggles to get past Pokemon that aren't weak to any particular move it carries, or Pokemon who have good defensive stats. Bulky Ground-types, such as Piloswine and Rhydon, stand out as the best checks, as they can take anything bar the rare Hidden Power Grass (and in Rhydon's case, Earthquake, does a noticeable amount of damage) and OHKO it back with Earthquake. Quagsire is also a formidable switch-in, as it is immune to Wild Charge, resists Flamethrower, and takes neutral damage from Electivire's coverage moves; however, it too must be aware of Hidden Power Grass variants. Crustle can use Electivire as setup fodder thanks to its high Defense, and either set up entry hazards or Shell Smash, or just hit Electivire with its STAB move or Earthquake. Although Regirock is weak to Earthquake, it can sponge the move with its massive Defense and OHKO back with an Earthquake of its own. Bulky versions of Rotom avoid the 2HKO from anything Electivire has and can burn it with Will-O-Wisp; keep in mind, though, that Ice Punch will 2HKO offensive variants of Rotom. Uxie doesn't take very much damage from any of Electivire's moves and can wear it down with its own STAB moves. Any Gardevoir with Trace gets a free switch into Wild Charge thanks to it copying Motor Drive, and it can hit Electivire back with its STAB moves. There are several revenge killers that can OHKO Electivire, such as Choice Scarf Emboar and Medicham, along with Choice Band Entei thanks to ExtremeSpeed, which manages to KO after some prior damage. Finally, if all else fails, smart switching will aid in defeating Electivire; between Life Orb damage and Wild Charge recoil, it might end up defeating itself in due time.

Jules Valentin Checks In on the Eve of the 2006 FIFA World Cup
Jun 8, 2006
Greetings ladies and gentleman – I'm BACK! Some of you may remember me, others may not. For those of you who do: it's good to see you again. If you're a newcomer to ussoccer.com and you have no clue who I am: welcome and it's nice to meet you…my name is Jules. I think that my U.S. Soccer email address still works at email@example.com so you can email me directly with questions, comments, or complaints – all are welcome!
As I gear up for the World Cup, I think it would be fitting to take a look back to four years ago in Korea/Japan and remember some moments that made the last Cup so special for the U.S. After this walk down memory lane, I guarantee excitement for Germany 2006!
For starters, how exciting is it that we don't have to set our alarm clocks for 3:00 in the morning to watch the games. This time around, the earliest that I'll have to set my alarm for is like 8:00 am. Sadly, it may be a bit of an issue for me to wake up this early, too.
I remember rolling out of bed in '02 (wearing my flannel pajamas) and watching the U.S.-Portugal game through my crusted yellow "eye boogers" and yawning every 30 seconds. Luckily, John O'Brien woke me up in the early in the match when he smoked a ball past Victor Baía (and his cheesy Euro-mullet) as he got us off on the right foot. I went nuts. So did Jack Edwards, especially after the game, as he screamed out about "the land of the free and the home of the brave." If JOB's goal in the 4th minute against "heavily favored" Portugal and Jack Edwards doesn't get you excited for Germany, I don't know what will.
I remember watching our boys play South Korea in the middle of a sea of Reds – talk about home field advantage. For me, that game sums up what the World Cup is all about – passion. The passion was tangible from both us and Korea team on the pitch, the screaming Reds in the stands, and everyone else around the world could help but give into that passion as well. It's impossible to forget Clint Mathis' incredible goal. Not because it was replayed a bajillion times since then or because of his Mohawk, but because it was a great goal – a quality touch and classy finish. Even bigger than that was Brad Friedal's domination of Lee on the penalty late in the game. What a HUGE save on a call that was questionable, at best. If thinking back to the sea of Reds, the passion of the Korean fans, Clint's elegant strike, getting a result, and Friedal's overall amazingness for the entire tournament doesn't get you excited for Germany, I don't know what will.
Geeze, the Poland game. I remember being up in the middle of the night and watching the games on my knees, saying a Hail Mary for 90 minutes in the hopes that Korea get a result. Okay, maybe I didn't actually do that, nor am I Catholic, but I was still on edge to say the least. ESPN kept flashing back to the Portugal-Korea game and it was a wild one. I think I remember that Portugal smacked 64 shots off the crossbar but the Korean team was able to get out of the match with a 1-0 win. I was way too preoccupied by what was going on in that game to remember any specific moments in our match or I've since forgotten them, four years later. We took a loss to Poland that day, but it didn't matter because we went through anyways. If remembering back to those butterflies inside, chewing off all of your finger AND toenails, knowing that our fate was in the hands of the Korean team doesn't get you excited for Germany, I don't know what will.
I remember being thrilled to see the U.S.-Mexico derby in the Round of 16. I do remember being nervous and anxious about the game, especially considering it was an elimination game in the World Cup. We came to play that game, absorbed their pressure in the early going and whenever we had to, and then took it to them from there. It was fantastic to watch Brian McBride silence the Mexican fans in the 8th minute – pure class. After Landon headed home Eddie Lewis' service later on in the second half, I remember being happy – just being happy. Then I remember being mad a few minutes later when the Mexican side decided to kick the beans out of Cobi Jones every opportunity they had because they realized they were going to lose, again, to the Americans. If the emotional rollercoaster, defeating Mexico, and the overall greatness of that game doesn't get you excited for Germany, I don't know what will.
If it wasn't for Bush League refereeing, we'd have continued to go on. We wore the blue kits that game. I'll always remember the second coming of Maradona's "Hand of God" that robbed Landon's goal and our chance to go through. I don't mean to be controversial here or bring back bad memories because it is in the past, but we deserved to win that game. I guess Kahn did play out of his mind that game, but if you take up ¾ of the goal, it can't be that hard. It's kind of like playing recreational youth soccer when you're 5 years old: the best goalies are always the "fat kids" because they can just stand in the goal and nobody can score. I remember being so close to a win and being all over the German side for parts of the match. Darn. We deserved that game but I'll never forget how proud I was to be and American soccer player that day. If you remember how proud you were of our team, the amazing run that we made, and knowing that we could very well have beaten Korea in the next round and been in the FINAL of World Cup 2002 doesn't get you excited for Germany, I don't know what will.
So, the U.S. kicks off World Cup 2006 on June 12 vs. the Czech Republic and you would be a liar if you told me that you're not excited for our first touch on the road to a World Championship. All of the action starts on June 9 with Germany taking on our CONCACAF rival Costa Rica. ESPN and ABC will have all the games so make sure to take advantage! I already have TiVo, which is fantastic. High-definition would be nice, too…

Bridgwater taxi drivers help support families during floods
7:30am Saturday 28th December 2013 in News By Kirsty James
TWO taxi drivers from Bridgwater battled howling winds and driving rain to support seven Somerset residents whose homes were hit by flooding.
Bob and Jeff Weston, who have each run a taxi firm in the town for more than 30 years, are both Red Cross Fire and Emergency Support (FES) volunteers.
Bob, of Broadway Taxis, and Jeff, of H Cabs, used their local knowledge of back roads to provide support to a pensioner in Crewkerne and six residents of two houses in Illminster, after their homes were inundated by flood water late on December 23.
At the request of Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, Bob and Jeff were initially called to support a man in his 80s who was being cared for by neighbours after flood water from a nearby culvert entered his home.
Bob said: "The emergency pager went off at 12.50am. We proceeded very carefully in high winds and driving rain. It was absolutely horrendous and going up the motorway the FES vehicle was being buffeted about, so we had to go very slowly.
"We both had our eyes peeled because water was coming off the fields going straight across the road.
"By the time we got to the gentleman in Crewkerne all the flood water had gone but his power sockets weren't safe to use so we gave him an old-fashioned corded phone that would still work and made sure he would be safe and warm for the night.
"He had family living nearby, so giving him the phone meant we knew he would be able to call on their support the next day."
After being with the man for an hour, they began the journey home - only to come across crews from the fire and rescue service pumping water away from two homes in Illminster.
The brothers were in the right place at the right time to bring the evacuated residents into their specially-adapted FES vehicle.
Bob added: "In the road there was 2ft of water and rising which was just about to go into two homes, so we supported six residents of the houses in our vehicle while the fire service pumped the water into a nearby ditch.
"A couple of them were still in their pyjamas so we got everyone warmed up and gave them cups of coffee and the chance to talk about how they were feeling and about claiming on their insurance.
"A lot of people are just happy to talk and our role is to listen and help people come up with their own action plan, which helps people to get through the crisis because they can decide what to do next."
Fire and emergency support volunteers are active in Somerset all year round, providing a range of practical and emotional support to people during emergencies.

US Torture: Voices from the Black Sites
ICRC Report on the Treatment of Fourteen "High Value Detainees" in CIA Custody
We need to get to the bottom of what happened—and why—so we make sure it never happens again.1
—Senator Patrick Leahy, Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee
We think time and elections will cleanse our fallen world but they will not. Since November, George W. Bush and his administration have seemed to be rushing away from us at accelerating speed, a dark comet hurtling toward the ends of the universe. The phrase "War on Terror"—the signal slogan of that administration, so cherished by the man who took pride in proclaiming that he was "a wartime president"—has acquired in its pronouncement a permanent pair of quotation marks, suggesting something questionable, something mildly embarrassing: something past. And yet the decisions that that president made, especially the monumental decisions taken after the attacks of September 11, 2001—decisions about rendition, surveillance, interrogation—lie strewn about us still, unclaimed and unburied, like corpses freshly dead.
How should we begin to talk about this? Perhaps with a story. Stories come to us newborn, announcing their intent: Once upon a time… In the beginning… From such signs we learn how to listen to what will come. Consider:
I woke up, naked, strapped to a bed, in a very white room. The room measured approximately 4m x 4m [13 feet by 13 feet]. The room had three solid walls, with the fourth wall consisting of metal bars separating it from a larger room. I am not sure how long I remained in the bed….
A man, unnamed, naked, strapped to a bed, and for the rest, the elemental facts of space and of time, nothing but whiteness.
The storyteller is very much a man of our time. Early on in the "War on Terror," in the spring of 2002, he entered the dark realm of "the disappeared"—and only four and a half years later, when he and thirteen other "high-value detainees" arrived at Guantánamo and told their stories in interviews with representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (reported in the confidential document listed above) did he emerge partly into the light. Indeed, he is a famous man, though his fame has followed a certain path, peculiar to our modern age: jihadist, outlaw, terrorist, "disappeared." An international celebrity whose name, one of them anyway, is instantly recognizable. How many people have their lives described by the president of the United States in a nationally televised speech?
Within months of September the 11th, 2001, we captured a man known as Abu Zubaydah. We believe that Zubaydah was a senior terrorist leader and a trusted associate of Osama bin Laden…. Zubaydah was severely wounded during the firefight that brought him into custody—and he survived only because of the medical care arranged by the CIA.2
A dramatic story: big news. Wounded in a firefight in Faisalabad, Pakistan, shot in the stomach, groin, and thigh after jumping from a roof in a desperate attempt to escape. Massive bleeding. Rushed to a military hospital in Lahore. A trauma surgeon at Johns Hopkins awakened by a late-night telephone call from the director of central intelligence and flown in great secrecy to the other side of the world. The wounded man barely escapes death, slowly stabilizes, is shipped secretly to a military base in Thailand. Thence to another base in Afghanistan. Or was it Afghanistan?
We don't know, not definitively. For from the moment of his dramatic capture, on March 28, 2002, the man known as Abu Zubaydah slipped from one clandestine world, that of al-Qaeda officials gone to ground in the days after September 11, into another, a "hidden global internment network" intended for secret detention and interrogation and set up by the Central Intelligence Agency under authority granted directly by President George W. Bush in a "memorandum of understanding" signed on September 17, 2001.
This secret system included prisons on military bases around the world, from Thailand and Afghanistan to Morocco, Poland, and Romania—"at various times," reportedly, "sites in eight countries"—into which, at one time or another, more than one hundred prisoners…disappeared.3 The secret internment network of "black sites" had its own air force and its own distinctive "transfer procedures," which were, according to the writers of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) report, "fairly standardised in most cases":
The detainee would be photographed, both clothed and naked prior to and again after transfer. A body cavity check (rectal examination) would be carried out and some detainees alleged that a suppository (the type and the effect of such suppositories was unknown by the detainees), was also administered at that moment.
The detainee would be made to wear a diaper and dressed in a tracksuit. Earphones would be placed over his ears, through which music would sometimes be played. He would be blindfolded with at least a cloth tied around the head and black goggles. In addition, some detainees alleged that cotton wool was also taped over their eyes prior to the blindfold and goggles being applied….
The detainee would be shackled by [the] hands and feet and transported to the airport by road and loaded onto a plane. He would usually be transported in a reclined sitting position with his hands shackled in front. The journey times…ranged from one hour to over twenty-four to thirty hours. The detainee was not allowed to go to the toilet and if necessary was obliged to urinate and defecate into the diaper.
One works the imagination trying to picture what it was like in this otherworldly place: blackness in place of vision. Silence—or "sometimes" loud music—in place of sounds of life. Shackles, together sometimes with gloves, in place of the chance to reach, touch, feel. One senses metal on wrist and ankle, cotton against eyes, cloth across face, shit and piss against skin. On "some occasions detainees were transported lying flat on the floor of the plane…with their hands cuffed behind their backs," causing them "severe pain and discomfort," as they were moved from one unknown location to another.
For his part, Abu Zubaydah—thirty-one years old, born Zein al-Abedeen Mohammad Hassan, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, though coming of Palestinian stock, from the Gaza Strip—
alleged that during one transfer operation the blindfold was tied very tightly resulting in wounds to his nose and ears. He does not know how long the transfer took but, prior to the transfer, he reported being told by his detaining authorities that he would be going on a journey that would last twenty-four to thirty hours.
A long trip then: perhaps to Guantánamo? Or Morocco? Then back, apparently, to Thailand. Or was it Afghanistan? He thinks the latter but can't be sure….
All classified, compartmentalized, deeply, deeply secret. And yet what is "secret" exactly? In our recent politics, "secret" has become an oddly complex word. From whom was "the secret bombing of Cambodia" secret? Not from the Cambodians, surely. From whom was the existence of these "secret overseas facilities" secret? Not from the terrorists, surely. From Americans, presumably. On the other hand, as early as 2002, anyone interested could read on the front page of one of the country's leading newspapers:
US Decries Abuse but Defends Interrogations: "Stress and Duress" Tactics Used on Terrorism Suspects Held in Secret Overseas Facilities
Deep inside the forbidden zone at the US-occupied Bagram air base in Afghanistan, around the corner from the detention center and beyond the segregated clandestine military units, sits a cluster of metal shipping containers protected by a triple layer of concertina wire. The containers hold the most valuable prizes in the war on terrorism—captured al Qaeda operatives and Taliban commanders….
"If you don't violate someone's human rights some of the time, you probably aren't doing your job," said one official who has supervised the capture and transfer of accused terrorists. "I don't think we want to be promoting a view of zero tolerance on this. That was the whole problem for a long time with the CIA…."
This lengthy article, by Dana Priest and Barton Gellman, appeared in The Washington Post on December 26, 2002, only months after the capture of Abu Zubaydah. A similarly lengthy report followed a few months later on the front page of The New York Times ("Interrogations: Questioning Terror Suspects in a Dark and Surreal World"). The blithe, aggressive tone of the officials quoted—"We don't kick the [expletive] out of them. We send them to other countries so they can kick the [expletive] out of them"—bespeaks a very different political temper, one in which a prominent writer in a national newsmagazine could headline his weekly column "Time to Think About Torture," noting in his subtitle that in this "new world…survival might well require old techniques that seemed out of the question."4
So there are secrets and secrets. And when, on a bright sunny day two years ago, just before the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the President of the United States strode into the East Room of the White House and informed the high officials, dignitaries, and specially invited September 11 survivor families gathered in rows before him that the United States government had created a dark and secret universe to hold and interrogate captured terrorists—or, in the President's words, "an environment where they can be held secretly [and] questioned by experts"—he was not telling a secret but instead converting a known and well-reported fact into an officially confirmed truth:
In addition to the terrorists held at Guantánamo, a small number of suspected terrorist leaders and operatives captured during the war have been held and questioned outside the United States, in a separate program operated by the Central Intelligence Agency…. Many specifics of this program, including where these detainees have been held and the details of their confinement, cannot be divulged….
We knew that Abu Zubaydah had more information that could save innocent lives, but he stopped talking…. And so the CIA used an alternative set of procedures. These procedures were designed to be safe, to comply with our laws, our Constitution, and our treaty obligations. The Department of Justice reviewed the authorized methods extensively and determined them to be lawful. I cannot describe the specific methods used—I think you understand why….
I was watching the live broadcast that day and I remember the uncanny feeling that came over me as, having heard the President explain the virtues of this "alternative set of procedures," I watched him stare straight into the camera and with fierce concentration and exaggerated emphasis intone once more: "The United States does not torture. It's against our laws, and it's against our values. I have not authorized it—and I will not authorize it." He had convinced himself, I thought, of the truth of what he said.
This speech, though not much noticed at the time, will stand, I believe, as George W. Bush's most important: perhaps the only "historic" speech he ever gave. In telling his version of Abu Zubaydah's story, and versions of the stories of Khaled Shaik Mohammed and others, the President took hold of many things that were already known but not acknowledged and, by means of the alchemical power of the leader's voice, transformed them into acknowledged facts. He also, in his fervent defense of his government's "alternative set of procedures" and his equally fervent denials that they constituted "torture," set out before the country and the world the dark moral epic of the Bush administration, in the coils of whose contradictions we find ourselves entangled still. Later that month, Congress, facing the midterm elections, duly passed the President's Military Commissions Act of 2006, which, among other things, sought to shelter from prosecution those who had applied the "alternative set of procedures" and had done so, said the President, "in a thorough and professional way."
