Obama throws Bush under the bus......accuses him of torture

I have a friend who's a marine.

He was waterboarded. He said it was uncomfortable but a long way from torture as far as he was concerned.

Guess he should know since he experienced it.
Maybe you and Sean Hannity should try it and find out for sure.
Water Boarding got results and I'm dead right on that one.

Of course I don't consider water boarding torture so, you may be right. LOL
You're wrong. Cite an example.

Sure.
CIA Waterboarding Produced Intel That Stopped Attack on Los Angeles by Terence Jeffrey on Creators.com - A Syndicate Of Talent

Intel Used To Find Bin Laden Came from Waterboarding Denny Burk

I'm sure they learned much more that no one will ever hear about.

According to the report, claims about important info gotten from waterboarding were just lies.

Senate Torture Report

[pp. 2-3 of 19] The committee reviewed 20 of the most frequent and prominent examples of purported counterterrorism successes that the CIA has attributed to the use of its enhanced interrogation techniques, and found them to be wrong in fundamental respects. In some cases, there was no relationship between the cited counterterrorism success and any information provided by detainees during or after the use of the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques. In the remaining cases, the CIA inaccurately claimed that specific, otherwise unavailable information was acquired from a CIA detainee "as a result" of the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques, when in fact the information was either: (1) corroborative of information already available to the CIA or other elements of the U.S. intelligence community from sources other than the CIA detainee, and was therefore not "otherwise unavailable"; (2) or acquired from the CIA detainee prior to the use of the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques. The examples provided by the CIA included numerous factual inaccuracies.

In providing the "effectiveness" examples to policymakers, the Department of Justice, and others, the CIA consistently omitted the significant amount of relevant intelligence obtained from sources other than CIA detainees who had been subjected to the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques--leaving the false impression the CIA was acquiring unique information from the use of the techniques.

When we have thoroughly invested ourselves in certain forms of torture, what is to prevent us from going on to much worse ones, when we become dissatisfied with the results of information obtained from waterboarding? When you are too far down that road, there is a point where you cannot return, and no one in the world will trust U.S. intelligence, except its own naïve citizens. Not that we trust them much now, but we won't change those regards.
