That seems to be the talking points now that waterboarding did not bring about any info to lead to this raid.

I guess we will never know the truth about how all this went down.

Just off the cuff, I honestly think that this administration speaks, watches themselves on television, determines that something won't work in their favor and recants or "shifts". Early reports were that it all had to to with waterboarding; even Newsmax reported it at length. Now, notsamuch. It's like they realized, (after the fact) that it flew in the face of what they were against, before. Complete.Incompetent.Buffoonery.

Yeah, the Obama Administration is claiming that a guy who hadn’t given up any information before being waterboarded later decided to give up the nom de guerre of the courier while under more standard interrogation, and the waterboarding had *nothing* to do with it. Could you imagine this argument being made by policemen in a court of law? “We beat the suspect to a bloody pulp and killed his child in front of him, but he didn’t admit his guilt until after we asked him again 5 minutes later, so it wasn’t a coerced confession.”

Waterboarding worked, and without it we would not have been able to locate Osama bin Laden.
