One unwary phone call led US to bin Laden doorstep (tip from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed)

"Mohammed did not reveal the names while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, former officials said. He identified them many months later under standard interrogation, they said, leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic."

The author is a total idiot. He doesn't have any clue that talking AFTER enhanced interrogation might possibly be a way of eluding further enhanced interrogation?

Here’s a chant for the Left:

“If Eric Holder had his way, O-B-L would still be alive today!”

The KSM admissions were done under duress and could not be used in a court of law. Perhaps that’s why KSM DIDN’T get the American court trial President Obama and Atty. General Holder WANTED.

KSM was waterboarded. In subsequent quesionings, only the threat of further waterboarding was necessary.

He also gave up information that prevented a 9-11 like attack on Heathrow airport.

President Bush’s policies saved lives. Red diaper doper babies cried. Now they found some love for war and patriotism now that their is one of their own in the White House.

Meanwhile we’ve had several domestic terrorist attacks including one WITHIN our US military with foreknowledge from the Obama administration. FAIL.

If Obama had this as his “#1 priority”, then he would have wanted to make sure it was done right away.

It's his number on priority just as unemployment and plugging that BP hole were.

First thing on his mind when he wakes up, last thing on his mind when he goes to sleep.

How many times in his State of the Union speeches did he reference his hunt of Osama Bin Laden?!!

“they” are wrestling this issue right now. I think it’s kicking their a55 personally. They claim it’s about us trying to take all of Obama’s credit when it’s really about them trying to take all of Bush’s credit. Back when Bush was President and this ball was set in motion, they kicked and screamed and undermined and called him a war criminal. They demanded an end to rendition, to Gitmo, and to all wars. They accused Bush of having been a conspirator in the 9-11 attacks. They condemned him and everything he had ever done. Obama ran a presidential campaign which fully tapped into all of this. Now he and they want to take ALL the credit for OBL’s death and use it as a launch pad for Obama’s second Presidential campaign. These people are unbelievable. I have an idea suddenly....

You must understand, the Left lies like Stalinists. Without regard for truth or being called hypocrites.

The issue of capturing/killing Osama Bin Laden is to get the MODERATE vote. Just as the outing of 2 gay Republicans in 2006 was designed to pressure religious conservatives to STAY HOME (not convince them to vote “for the other guy/party). The same Democrats who condemned the GOP (”culture of corruption that rises to the top of the party”) were exposed colluding with the media on the firestorm and KNOWING more, sooner, and doing nothing except to hold it for a more timely (October Surprise) use in the campaign. Those SAME Democrats then celebrated a former congressman who died during all of that bruhaha who had (then illegal) gay sex with an aide and who did not step down from office.

It wasn’t about laws, it wasn’t about accuracy of the scandals (there was no sexual abuse or criminal activity with the aide the Republican was communicating with), it was about outting homosexuals and getting some “morals issues” voters to stay home. Supress the vote. And the media helped.

So that’s background. Here, they are seeking to say “Obama did what Bush never could”. Born on third, he thinks he hit a triple. Nixon put a man on the moon in less than 2 years! Something JFK and LBJ never managed to do! < /sarc >

Turn off your television from now until Jan 20, 2013. You may become “uninformed” but you won’t be subjected to daily “misinformation”.
