President Bush would have gotten Bin Laden in 2003 if it weren't for the the NY Times blowing the story by revealing that the CIA was monitoring Bin Laden's cell phone. We were closing in on him. He tossed the phone and went to the courier system and has been off the grid ever since. It took the intel from GITMO to find the trail again.
There has never been any proof that waterboarding has produced actual results dispite what neocons say. As I always say, prove that it does!!!
There is no real evidence on that or on following the Army Field Manual either. The question hasn't been examined in any rigorous way, so the prove it challenge could be posed in the opposite direction as well.
A government big and bad enough to torture "terrorists" is big and bad enough to call anyone they want "terrorists" and "enhance" their interrogation techniques.
So the Obama supporters are all gleefully cheering him for the news of Osama's death.
We are learning that the intelligence that finally lead to the death of Osama was partially gained in the Bush years using enhanced interrogation techniques at Gitmo.
Considering liberals hate Bush, enhanced interrogation, and Gitmo, I would like to know if the opinions of Bush and his stategy that was scolded by Obama and 99% of the left on today, after we learn that getting Osama was made possible by the very things they so deeply opposed.
I even pulled the article from MSNBC so the left can't claim bias by Fox.
When you act like a terrorist you ARE a terrorist...
or do torture lovers "pretty it up" with silly phrases like "enhanced interrogation"...oh yes , these loving Jesus following sadistic christians do just that...
Perhaps the most senior officer convicted of cannibalism was Lt Gen. Yoshio Tachibana (立花芳夫,Tachibana Yoshio), who with 11 other Japanese personnel was tried in August 1946 in relation to the execution of U.S. Navy airmen, and the cannibalism of at least one of them, during August 1944, on Chichi Jima, in the Bonin Islands. The airmen were beheaded on Tachibana's orders. As military and international law did not specifically deal with cannibalism, they were tried for murder and "prevention of honorable burial". Tachibana was sentenced to death, and hanged.[67]

Exactly!
The "We Love Torture" crowd, who have lowered their standards to those of terrorists, are cowards who will do anything to feel "safe"....big surprises down the road!!!!!
