Blitzer cited "this notion that the Democrats are weak when it comes to national security"
Blitzer cited "this notion that the Democrats are weak when it comes to national security" -- not according to polling

http://mediamatters.org/items/200711020013?f=h_latest

Summary: In response to Cybercast News Service editor-in-chief Terry Jeffrey's statement that "{i}f the Democrats in the Senate want to ban the procedure by which we got vital information out of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, Harry Reid ought to put up a bill right now that says: 'Waterboarding is forbidden. What we did to Khalid Shaikh Mohammed may not be done again.' " CNN's Wolf Blitzer replied: "It sort of reinforces this notion that the Democrats are weak when it comes to national security. That's been a very successful strategy for the Republicans for decades now." In fact, polling shows that the public is split on which party is better on handling terrorism, with some polls showing Democrats with a slight lead.

1. Wolf talks to a lot of people. It's very possible that he knows terrorist secrets.
The federal government would be foolish not to use enhanced interrogation techniques to attempt to extract such information from him.

Anybody who disagrees is weak on national security.

5. He would wake up feeling fine the next morning,
so it really isn't torture. Somebody on an all-news network said so.

4. RWers keep citing KSM as a success story
didn't we have to throw out pretty much everything he said because it was all bogus? Is just beating and torturing people what we want in our leadership?

6. KSM said whatever he was told to say because Bush and his thugs are holding his children
7 and 9 years old. Thats the part that everyone leaves out.
