WikiLeaks: Osama bin Laden Killed After Tip-Off From His Deputy The mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, who was interrogated using torture techniques, gave the United States the breakthrough that resulted in the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), who was repeatedly subjected to methods including waterboarding and stress positions, provided the CIA with the name of bin Ladens personal courier, according to US officials.
A second source also an al-Qaeda leader held at Guantanamo Bay then confirmed the couriers identity, sparking an intense manhunt that resulted in the dramatic final raid.
Secret documents seen by The Daily Telegraph disclose that this second source the terrorist operations chief, Abu Faraj al-Libi played a key role in finding safe havens for bin Laden and lived in the military town where he was finally found.
The killing of the worlds most wanted man as a direct result of information obtained from Guantanamo detainees such as KSM will reignite the debate over whether torture is a legitimate interrogation technique in the "war on terror". Both KSM and al-Libi were subjected to harsh techniques during their interrogations in CIA prisons.

Bin Laden is Dead!!!
The deck of cards are being shuffled!
The polls were tanking after General Patton-Trump was firing from the hips and “re-loading”!!
Petreus now in Afgahnistan or was, is moving to CIA where Panetta is transferring to Pentagon after Gates done the “dirty” work, sacrificing a Patriot Lt. Col. Lakin to jail for asking for the b.c. that was there and surfaced a couple days ago that COULD have been shown(?) if it’s not a faked!!!
The one who is going to pay a real steep prize for it all is——ISRAEL-—— after all this planned “uprising” in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, etc., and we will end up with a dictatorship after 2012, IF we don’t wake up and apply a Honduras moment!!!
Here’s the man who predicted this BEFORE the p-RESident stole the whit-hut. He said repeatedly: “Mark my words” Mark my words”???
Heres a prophesy made before the present usurper in the whit-hut was installed ten days after the 2998 election(?)
Mr. Boom-Shacka-Lakah said then: Mark my words

Pree-cisely, maine-iac.
Typo typo, sorry should read 2008, NOT 2998, LOL!!!
It is a great argument for keeping them detained (and isolated) until all the intel they have spilled is moot. If KSM had been able to reveal to some low level operative what he told to the interrogators, who was then later released, they would have run to the first al-Queda chief of any importance and told them that Bin Laden’s courier had been compromised.
Daffy was responsible for Flt 103 and therefore we have ALWAYS been entitled to go after him...personally.
That we started a war to do it is the shameful part.
First, how about a debate over whether water boarding is torture?
Every few months, some idiot journalist voluntarily undergoes water boarding and declares how awful it was. When was the last time you ever heard of some idiot journalist voluntarily undergoing any real torture, e.g., the rack, or electrocution, or having body parts burned or cut off?
Torture causes permanent physical harm and/or death.
Water boarding scares the crap out of you and convinces you that you are about to die without causing you any actual physical harm. That doesn't make it torture. That just makes it really effective.
This is okay for America to do?
Meanwhile, we prosecute soldiers if a terrorist even claims they were slapped.
And Lt> Col. Allen West was charged - his career ended - because he shot a pistol off next to a terrorist - and got the info he needed to save his soldiers from an ambush -
And it's okay to refuse our troops, ambushed and being killed, air power because there "might" be a civilian somewhere in the area...even though the troops say NO
And it's okay to forbid our soldiers to shoot at the enemy until THEY HAVE SHOT FIRST! (These ROE have doubled our KIA each month for the past 2 years.)
But it's okay to kill little kids/?
OK
