And you can't see the spin in that? No wonder you're a CON$ervative.
First of all, the info came from detainees held overseas, in Poland and Romania not in Gitmo.
And secondly, and more importantly, Obama INSTITUTED a policy Bush didn't have the balls or will to do, namely going into Pakistan without Pakistani government approval!!!!!!! That Obama policy is what got Bin Laden, not any policy of Bush's.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Sen.
Barack Obama said on Wednesday the United States must be willing to strike al Qaeda targets inside Pakistan, adopting a tough tone after a chief rival accused him of naivete in foreign policy.
Obama's stance comes amid debate in Washington over what to do about a resurgent al Qaeda and Taliban in areas of northwest Pakistan that President Pervez Musharraf has been unable to control, and concerns that new recruits are being trained there for a September 11-style attack against the United States.
Obama said if elected in November 2008 he would be willing to attack inside Pakistan with or without approval from the Pakistani government, a move that would likely cause anxiety in the already troubled region.
"If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will," Obama said.
