Geepers, all they'd have to do is ask me nicely and I'd tell them you're Atilla the Hun, hon. In fact, if you want me to, I'll swear to it. I'm so not taking you on any major covert operations........besides.....I've waxed since you saw me last time......

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/al-qaeda/8491509/Osama-bin-Laden-killed-CIA-admits-waterboarding-yielded-vital-information.html QUOTE: Osama bin Laden killed: CIA admits waterboarding yielded vital information Leon Panetta, the CIA director, has confirmed that controversial "enhanced interrogation techniques" such as waterboarding yielded some of the intelligence information that ultimately led to Osama bin Laden. Mr Panetta's comments come hours after Eric Holder, the US Attorney General, defended as lawful the intelligence gathering and raid that resulted in the death of bin Laden. The mission was "lawful, legitimate and appropriate in every way", he told the House Judiciary Committee. "The people who were responsible for that action, both in the decision making and the effecting of that decision, handled themselves I think quite well." American officials have said that one of the crucial clues that led to bin Laden was a piece of information about an al-Qaeda courier that came from September 11th mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or from the so-called 20th hijacker, Mohammad al-Qahtani. It is acknowledged that both Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and Mohammad al-Qahtani had been subjected to enhanced interrogation, a policy authorised by Mr Bush. "We used this technique on three people, captured a lot of people and used it on three. We gained value; information to protect the country. And it was the right thing to do as far as I'm concerned," Mr Bush said in an interview in 2010. The debate about such methods has now been re-ignited, and fuelled by Mr Panetta's comments. This week, Representative Peter King, a New York Republican, said: "The road to bin Laden began with waterboarding." He added that the technique was a "moral imperative" that "saves lives".

Good to see Panetta admitting that water boarding was the right thing to do.
Too bad we didn't capture bin Laden alive, take him to Guantanamo, and water board him until he gave up every one of his cohorts.

Too bad we didn't capture bin Laden alive, take him to Guantanamo, and water board him until he gave up every one of his cohorts. there was NO, nada, zip, zilch, none, rational or legitimate reason to capture it. it's truly sad that it didn't suffer for awhile before it died, but, taking it prisoner would have been the most abjectly stupid, as well as immoral, thing that we could have done. there is NO possibility that such an imbecilic move would have created untold hostages who would have died.
