I will never understand why in the middle of a war it is somehow ok to shoot a predator drone at someone and their family and blow them into a billions pieces... but it is somehow wrong to instead capture the same man and question him using simulated torture that does no lasting damage.

And it especially confusing when the other side has no obligation what so ever to follow any rules at all, and quickly cuts the heads off any prisoners that capture.

American lives, British lives, anyone planning to fly transatlantic to/from Dulles and Heathrow that summer when all the flights were cancelled, suddenly.

Plus people driving over the Brooklyn bridge the day of the planned attack that was stopped.

Plus people living in/near the hi-rise that dirty-bomber (John Doe #2) Jose Padilla was planning to bomb.

Read the declass reports for more.

You bet it did. I actually believe Dick Cheney, and have no reason not to. The intel results from the interrogations are available. Its not a "what if" proposition, its QED.

Because of FDR's devotion to socialism he ignored Soviet spies in his administration.His love of “Uncle Joe Stalin” made him blind to the many subversive infiltrators placed in our government—infiltrators dedicated to America's joining the global communist community taking their orders from Moscow.
Later administrations,led by patriot Presidents and the heroic J. Edgar Hoover,purged these traitors to America and haters of the US Constitution and provided us all with the golden age of freedom and prosperity post WWII.
Well,the “Red Diaper Babies” (those hatched and raised in socialist lies),led by Marxist swine like Obama and Pelosi have their chance at revenge—and Americans became so dumned downed by MSM perfidy and public school mendacity they let socialism loose in America in 2008.
Now voters regret and the dedicated minority of the aware seek to turn the tide.
Not much chance as most Americans still love MSM swill,but a chance nonetheless.

We had 7 years with no successful attacks. The Bush Team did their job. History can’t discount it and if those creeps who were waterboarded helped, so be it. If it didn’t, so be it.
