No, itdidn´t come from torture, it came from waterboarding, which imposes physical stress and does no permanent harm at all. Is it only leftists who are allowed to write on this topic?

Let´s get this straight.....The capture came from intelligence learned in waterboarding, obama would not allow waterboarding therefore, bin laden was caught because of actions taken during the Bush Administration. Got it!

Oh, my gosh. How awful. We should bring OBL back to life until we find a more humane method of obtaining information.

The problem is that the next time we need to get rough with the bad guys, we are going to have some liberals at the helm who will want to sing Kumbaya and use the Army Field Manual to govern interrogations. And we will have a repeat of the Carter years as a result.

0bama puffs out his chest and proclaims, HE got Bin Laden, He alone was the hero. Yet, 0bama bad mouthed water boarding, he forbid water boarding, and he called it torture. 0bama takes all the credit, but does not share anything with the good people who got the great information for him.

The dims tormented Bush on Gitmo, water boarding and Cindy Sheehan. Well Gitmo is still open, they still use water boarding and where is Sheehan´s outrage now ?? Dems are awefull people.

OMG Is Nan from Fran aware of this? or Di Fi? Two Won....he doesn´t really care, he has his killer drones. President Bush and VP Chaney, thank you for your insight to set in place motions to keep AMERICANS safe.

Navy Seals go through waterboarding as part of their training course. It´s scary. But, it´s not torture.

Cool! Now if we could just get somebody in the Federal government to admit the guy who shot up Ft. Hood while screaming, ´In´sha Allah!´...

...was in some way related to ´Islamic violence´.

Ya´ gotta´ laugh. We´re torturers. They´re ´misguided´.

This is Obamaworld where the Oval office occupier condems waterboarding but condones murdering american citizens without a trial or any hint of due process.

When is he going to be impeached and arrested?

While the Hollywood liberals do not want to hear that water boarding was used to dig out information that eventually lead to OBL, with Panetta apparently now setting the record straight, maybe the movie Zero Dark Thirty will have a shot at the Oscar.

but, but, but... BO says "waterboarding is torture and that HIS administration would NEVER waterboard, it´s not necessary or effective"

BO is a liar.

Consider the removal of two or three of our best generals in quick succesion - It is entirely possible to believe that their dismissal is the start of an evil plan to take out the finest we have and replace them with liberal tools to defang our military migh, and concurrently giving Abrams tanks, F16s and billions of dollars to the crazies running amok in Egypt.
Panetta is only as honorable as his conscience demands, but at least he has finally spoken up and put an end to the disputed merits of waterboarding as a method of obtaining information.

Well, duh.


#8, Green Berets go through waterboarding, too. At least they did, and I doubt the training has gotten any easier. And I agree, it´s not torture. Definitely not fun, but not torture. No one pulling teeth, ripping out fingernails, etc. Now THAT is torture.

If you can´t tell waterboarding from torture, well, we can´t help you.

That said, if torture had been used -- so?

Last, let´s ask Daniel Pearl if he´d rather have been waterbo-- oh. That´s right.

"Selective outrage" is no outrage. Got it, Meghan?

Was water boarded while going through SERE training at Warner Springs in the summer of 1966.Didn´t know I was being picked on so awfully until the last few years.Got to admit it was kind of bad but not near as bad as some of the other training I went through as a member of Naval Special Warfare.

Now that we know that, well, we should bring him back from the dead in the name of fairness.

It was not torture, it was encouragement. Torture is the people who had to choose whether to leap from 70 stories or who rode those planes into the twin towers, the pentagon, or into a field in Shanksville.

Thank you #18. A little perspective is a good thing.

The hypocrisy of the demented left is astounding. IMHO, the problem the progressives have in fighting the war on terror is coming to the realization that these seventh century barbarians are just that, barbarians. They play by their own rules handed down to them by their "holy men" and are totally unconcerned about what the world thinks about them. Therefore, anything they do is justified in their effort to defeat the Great Satan. That is why they are so savage. You can´t negotiate with this mindset. It must be totally decimated. The longer we reject this this thinking the more they are emboldened and the killing and maiming will continue. If we had the will, this could have ended years ago.

Because of the MFM´s execrable exploitation of a few silly pranks in the Abu Ghraib prison, the entire world thinks every Republican should be put on trial for war crimes. I exaggerate only a wee bit. The Dims let that happen, and should never be forgiven for it.

Well . . . duh . . . of course. It´s hell to be the one honest person in Fauxbama´s regime.

To a liberal, torture can be as simple as watching FoxNews...

Now, they were forced to listed to endless loops of Obama speaches, the Geneva Convention would have something to say about that.

From The Guns of Navarone…(fictional 1961 movie)
Mallory (played by Gregory Peck) : “The only way to win a war is to be as nasty as the enemy.”

Another feather in the cap of President Bush. Another stick in the eye of obama.

I resent people claiming we are as bad as the enemy and we use torture the same way they do. This is an outrageous insult and can be easily disproved: At the end of torture, you are no longer the same. You are missing fingernails, or an eye or maybe you have burn marks or spilled blood. At the end of waterboarding you´re physically fine, experience no permanent damage (if it´s done right) and the only thing you really feel is a lasting effect that you may have made a less than manly performance and you also have the humiliation of knowing you lost the test of wills. That´s it.

Another proof waterboarding isn´t torture? No newspaper reporter would "volunteer" to have it done to them if they thought they´d die. See if they would volunteer to have a finger cut off or have electric wires placed you-know-where.
