In a secret CIA prison in Eastern Europe years ago, al-Qaida's No. 3 leader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, gave authorities the nicknames of several of bin Laden's couriers, four former U.S. intelligence officials said. Those names were among thousands of leads the CIA was pursuing.

Waterboarding rules.

They must have asked him really really REALLY nicely I guess.

I like the idea that bin laden had time to realize that he was going to die soon

Enhanced interrogation in secret prisons work!

“Officials say CIA interrogators in secret overseas prisons developed the first strands of information that ultimately led to the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Current and former U.S. officials say that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, provided the nom de guerre of one of bin Laden’s most trusted aides. The CIA got similar information from Mohammed’s successor, Abu Faraj al-Libi. Both were subjected to harsh interrogation tactics inside CIA prisons in Poland and Romania.

The news is sure to reignite debate over whether the now-closed interrogation and detention program was successful. Former president George W. Bush authorized the CIA to use the harshest interrogation tactics in U.S. history. President Barack Obama closed the prison system.

People of good faith on both sides can disagree on the efficacy and morality of harsh tactics. I do hope, however, that we can dispense with one nonsensical anti-EIT talking point: That they don’t work. They do. Just ask Osama bin Laden.”

Is this the party to whom I am speaking?

If you think the SEALs in the helos are bad asses who go way into danger, think about the CIA guys on the ground before, during and after. Like the dude who shot two robbers and spent a month in a paki prison. Real ballsy guys to operate in a part of the world where infidel beheadings are light television fare.

Thanks for posting this report.

Okay, what is jumping out to me is that it was LAST YEAR that they found the courier. I don’t know if you heard about the latest from Ulster Man, but he sent something out today saying that the military wanted to strike months ago and Obama wouldn’t let it happen and he was made to have it happen this time.

Why is the AP admitting that Obama has known since last year? Are their cracks coming out against “the one”????

Warrantless wiretaps! Leaky Leahy! Schuckin' Schumer! Turban Durbin!

Where is your outrage now????

Enhanced Interrogations + Warrantless Wiretaps = Dead Osama!

"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.
