Former Vice President Dick Cheney, in 2011, peddling one of his favorite claims in defense of torture:
"One of the most controversial techniques is waterboarding ... And the one who was subjected the most often to that was Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, and it produced phenomenal results for us." [...]
Cheney said that waterboarding Khaled Sheikh Mohammed "helped produce the intelligence that allowed us to get Osama bin Laden."
And today, from the initial release on the torture report:
The committee reviewed 20 of the most frequent and prominent examples of purported "successes" that the CIA has attributed to the use of its enhanced interrogation techniques. Each of those examples was found to be wrong.
you know the idiot doesn't seem to realize that by saying their torturing produced the intel that allowed them to get Bin Laden, must have been reading or trying to write one of those infamous Texas history books, but if it did he's saying they were to incompetent to move on it or they ignored it like the impending 911 attacks and while thinking he's stealing Pres.'s thunder he's admitting he did what they couldn't is he praising Pres. and doesn't know?
i still think that Bin Laden was given a pass by the republican Pres. because he was a partner to the Bin Laden family in the oil business. just doing a favor? btw who believes they only waterboarded 3 people if you do got a parcel of land you might like part of Keystone
