McCain: 'Enhanced Interrogation' Did Not Lead to bin Laden's Killing

[rdean]

Dear John McCain,
Doesn't it feel good to "tell the truth"? Too bad you can't share that feeling with other Republicans.

 

[Hot Wire]

Who gives a rip the ass is dead,and if you think Obamma wouldn't water board some one if presented with the same situation your an idiot. he might not admit it but he would as sure as the sky is blue.

And you want to use THAT as an excuse to waterboard?
Bin Laden was an barbaric animal, so the US should also be a barbaric animal and replicate something bin Laden probably would have done?
That attitude is a win for al Qaeda.

Dumb ****,these islamic beasts didnt waterboard.They cut off heads of live people.

I would show NO MERCY to the muslim savage satanic beasts from hell.

The man was tortured for 6 years in a Hanoi prison. Not surprising he's sort of against it.

He's also the ranking member on the Senate Armed Services Committee and has access to classified information which others don't.

Apparently, McCain got that information directly from Panetta.

I want to see someone say McCain doesnt know what he is talking about here.

I miss the Mccain of 2000. He really was a reasonable republicans back then. What the hell happened? S.P.

noooo sorry charlie...he was against it before he was for it, one of the many reasons I didn't vote for him, he flipped to agreeing with torture for the election as pandering move, and frankly, hes just a babbling jackass at this point, I have seen him take 3-4 sides on this issue, I trust him, not at all.

He always said torture didnt work.

Do you have a link contradicting this or just your word?


Link please. If not, your a lying piece of shit.

God bless.

Don't you know? Waterboarding isn't torture.....BUT IT WORKS!!! That's why all our soldiers/sailors in WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam sang like birds to their captors. That's why the Japanese, the North Koreans and the North Viet Namese had NO PROBLEM finding out our codes, our troop dispositions, etc. because waterboarding WORKS.


......and it's not torture.

Remember Hannity said he would do it for charity. I guess the Nuge told him to not do it.

No, becasue they practicede their water boarding with salt water, had no doctor in attendence and cared not a wit for the health of the subjects, that is from japanse sources.

And, you do realize that using that on service members whose intel was limited would not yield nor is what they were looking for compared to what we were. AND you know darn well, if you were in, CEOI's ( code books on straps around their necks, with call signs radio freq's etc.) were always changed immediately when compromised, they knew it too.

Do you have sources btw that speaks to the sue of such by the no kors and

John McCain is sleeping good tonight. Telling the truth does that. It's like a huge weight off your shoulders.

It looks like conservatives aren't even in agreement with each other when it comes to taking credit for anything that has to do with how the information was obtained which eventually led to discovering bin Laden's whereabouts.

McCain isn't a conservative. He's liberal to the bone. Why those knuckleheads in AZ keep reelecting him is something I just can't fathom. They are like Charley Brown, and McCain is Lucy. He keeps promising to let them kick the football, but then he pulls it away at the last minute. McCain runs as a conservative, but he shows his liberal cloven hoof the minute he returns to Washington.

Wait....are you arguing that our waterboarding is MORE HUMANE than the other guys' waterboarding?

If anybody knows about torture, what it can do to people undergoing it, and has authority to comment on it-it's McCain.

It looks like conservatives aren't even in agreement with each other when it comes to taking credit for anything that has to do with how the information was obtained which eventually led to discovering bin Laden's whereabouts.

Waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques were not a factor in tracking down Osama bin Laden, a leading Republican senator insisted Thursday.

In an impassioned speech on the Senate floor, the Arizona Republican said former Attorney General Michael Mukasey and others who supported those kind of measures were wrong to claim that waterboarding al-Qaida's No. 3 leader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, provided information that led to bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.

"Not only did the use of enhanced interrogation techniques on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed not provide us with key leads on bin Laden's courier, Abu Ahmed, it actually produced false and misleading information," McCain said. He called on Mukasey and others to correct their misstatements.

there are times I still like McCain, in spite of his kissing Bush's ass and picking Palin.

Like I said, John McCain is sleeping good tonight. Telling the truth does that. It's like a huge weight off your shoulders. Feels good.

Love the way you guys "eat your own" when they don't tow the "party line".

 

[Sallow]

McCain is a conservative?

Getting the bus ready?

 

[American Cowboy]

McRino has opposed enhanced interogation since he was tortured as a POW. He has a dog in the fight. McRino is a moron.

 

[editec]

McCain is a conservative?

Now, The above is an interesting development.

I've seen self proclaiming conservatives on this board deny that both Bush II and John McCain were really conservatives.

It's mightly hard to make the cuts on that conservative team you guys belong to, isn't it?


Who are the conservatives as far as you are concerned, Leweman?

 

[American Cowboy]

McCain is a conservative?

Who are the conservatives as far as you are concerned, Leweman?

It is a little confusing, so let me help you out. McCain is a Rino, Democrats are now Socialists. Obama is a Marxist. W. started the bail-outs and lost his conservative status. Republicans have moved to the left. And true Conservatives in DC are few and far between.

If you need a couple of names you could start with Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul.

Thanks for clearly stating your POV.

So IKE was a RINO, too, I suppose, as far as you're concerned?

And Nixon, too, right? No I guess he'd be a total liberal based on your scale of conservatism.
