Many on the right disagree with McCain on this issue. This isn't news...

Many disagree because they want to, not because of the actual facts.

Facts, or opinions? If it were so straightforward, nobody in the Obama administration would be saying otherwise, but that's not the case.

I'll file this away for future reference (should I at some point actually start caring about the opinions of politicians). Thanks for sharing.

Panetta is often said to have concurred that torture got good Bin Laden info, however that isn't what he said. He clarified to McCain what he knew about the source of info.

Panetta to McCain: Key bin Laden info didn't come from detainees -

Pertaining to the letter, this doesn't scream straightforward to me:

Quote:
As Sargent writes, "To be sure, there are a couple of lines in the letter that conservatives will seize on to bolster their case. But the overall thrust of the letter clearly undercuts their larger version of events."
Also sounds a lot like....... wait for it.......... another opinion.

Ok now who says that anyone in this administration or this President is noted for being straightforward.
