Those SEALS were trained for some time by the FBI about what to grab and take along before they went in after bin Laden. Much information was hauled out and is in the hands of the FBI and being studied now. They are finding all kinds of good information about planned activities and informing agencies who need to know.

Let me say that I have to cheer the enhanced interrogation methods that revealed some plans and revealed where bin Laden was. While I am glad that Obama finally did what a leader does and led by giving the order to "get" bin Laden I believe that it was those enhanced methods that gave him the chance to lead.

I am discussing the topic of the thread. Enhanced Interrogation Techniques just sounds so much better than the reality of what it was and is - torture. I was addressing part of your OP. Nowhere is it written I have to address each one of your points.

But to play along I will. Of course we've created more terrorists via our invasions, so it should come as no surprise there will be attacks.

Pretty much. Keep the people scared so that we can begin to go through TSA checkpoints in malls, schools, grocery stores and other "soft targets".

It has been suggested that Obama will use this to pass Cape & Tax as well as push through the vehicle tracking devices, ahem..., I mean taxing devices, in your personal vehicle(s).

Torture is the tool for savage societies. Societies that have intelligent ways of operating do not need to resort to the Dark Ages.

Obama got tons of intelligence without resorting to tactics from the primitive past.

War is not primitive, it is ever present, omni present reality.

What is the topic of the thread?---how to write propaganda to diminish the accomplishments of a sitting president? The question got lost in your cheerleading-for-waterboarding rhetoric.
