officials narrowed down the region in Pakistan where the courier was
working, senior administration
officials said."

'Years' it says. "Four years ago..." Well, that dumps it in Bush's lap.

Yesterday, Panetta admitted to Brian Williams that 'enhanced
interrogation techniques', including
waterboarding, provided intel which ultimately lead to the attack.

I'll give Obama a 'C' for allowing the action to take place. He
didn't do much else.

You would benefit from a deeper pursuit of this than what Panetta
said. He was wrong about releasing photos and he was wrong about
reliable responses from people under torture.

I don't know how we got so stupid, but we had a LOT more effective
interrogation techniques when dealing with captured Japanese in WWII
than we do now.....

Funny, with todays cocktails (drugs) I would have thought the opposite
unless years of apathy have set in.


You know about as much about that as you know about paper and documents.
In short, you know nothing.

JohnH continues to qualify himself as a partisan hack. When Bush did
well, there wasn't a liberal here who wasn't willing to give credit.

Obama revived a group that Bush had disbanded and those are the people
who doggedly pursued this to the conclusion we've witnessed.

Bush never had much patience, being a petulant little boy.

Release of the photos was his opinion. Are you saying he lied about the 'enhanced interrogation
techniques'? Would Obama knowingly keep a liar in such a job?

Even the liberal Washington Post is giving the credit where due.
Notice that they also credit the interrogation techniques so down-
played by the Obama bunch.

Maybe the liberals will learn something after all. Sure hope so.

If anything the water boarding perhaps confirmed other sources. All
this nonsense about OBL as though his capture is going to solve all
the problems of terrorism is astounding. Water boarding just brings us
down to their level. The "actionable" intelligence that perhaps was
gleaned from using it for sure had nothing to do with any immediate
threat.

I don't have to mine many of your posts to see you saying OBL was the
key to stopping terrorism (trying to justify our crusade in
Afghanistan).

BS. I never said that. Show us.

What's in it for me?
You would just change the subject to blaming Bush for something.

Which means... you can't.
