For Obama, McCain is the gift that just keeps giving.
Juan will probably be on at least half the Sunday morning shows this weekend. They just love it when he stabs his own party in the back.
We never tortured anyone.
I despise McCain. He’s always been pathologically jealous of Bush. I don’t know if it started when Bush beat him for the nomination in 2000 or before.
And he’s an inconsistent nutcase.
Too late McCain/MSM. The Obama administration already admitted that enhanced interrogation led to Bin Laden. The MSM couldn’t find a conservative to spout their revisionist history, so they use McCain instead.
The day John McCain passes on, I will celebrate with the same enthusiasm reserved for the passing of Ted Kennedy.
Panetta’s story, this version, is stating that the information did not come from a source in US custody.
Panettas is careful not to say that the source held in another country on the US’s behalf was tortured for the information.

“The trail to bin Laden did not begin with a disclosure from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed”
Does not refute anything. Ok, it didn’t ‘begin’ with Khalid...but could they have found Bin Laden without Khalid?
And the other part is rich - we didn’t torture the guy, we just sent him to a foreign prison...and he decided to talk. I have a sneaky suspicion that many people in these foreign prisons long for the easy-going days of Gitmo, and would gladly do a few waterboarding sessions, over the treatment they are getting.
And this is where McCain’s logic is flawed. I know he was beat and pain was inflicted on him in prison...waterboarding is not the same. There has to be a bright line between what is a useful technique and what is torture...somewhere as you progress from yelling, dark rooms, slapping, punching, water-boarding, and pulling out finger nails. McCain draws the line at waterboarding. I draw it at pulling finger nails (maybe).
We need to honor McCain’s sacrifice in the torture prisons of N. Vietnam but the fact is he cannot be trusted to be objective about the subject because of it.
Why doesn’t this old fool retire already.
McCain is in the running to be Obama’s veep.
I think I know what we’ve got here.
John McCain has Legacy Envy.
McCain is in the same worthless politician as ron paul.
The only fools who think he is relavent are useful idiots and the MSM.
“...came from a detainee held in another country. The United States did not conduct this detainee’s interrogation, nor did we render him to that country for the purpose of interrogation.”
Oh BS!! You didnt intend for him to be tortured, but they certainly could have. What a bunch of weasel words (no offense to actual weasels)!
