1. I'd like to think

that Obama had McCain waterboarded (or just threatened to) and the way to get bin Laden was revealed. I simply can not forget McDunce's boast/promise that if elected president, he'd share his inside info with our military. Of course, Johnnie was NOT selected by American voters, so we must assume he never shared the info he professed to have. I'm thinkin' Obama recalled that campaign professment and asked if McCain might like to visit Guantanamo for a weekend spa treatment. Faced with that option, he spilled the whereabouts of Osama.

3. No, dude, that IS the message. This is not an off-the-cuff

interview. This is the same stuff he told Sean Hannity today. The message is that the Osama killing is proof that waterboarding works, as provided by intelligence, and that it's not time (it'll never be) to stop fearing the terrorists.

7. According to this article, Rumsfeld is wrong

"Mohammed did not reveal the names while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, former officials said. He identified them many months later under standard interrogation, they said, leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic."

The cons will be falsely crediting waterboarding for a long time to come
