Rep. Peter King on CNN lying his ass off
Just claimed that the initial information on the couriers came from KSM after waterboarding. Reporters asked him if Leon Panetta told him that in their briefing. And he said no. They asked him where did he get it from and he said from his sources. They asked him who his source was and of course the prick said he wouldn't tell

Can you believe they get away with that shit?

30. he's into knee capping.
Just think what the SAS would have done to his ass while he collected funds for the IRA and denied that they killed women & children. He's a dangerous prick who should not be in any position of power and has no decency what so ever.

4. Why am I seeing 2:1 GOP vs Dem representation on news channels post bin Laden?
Edited on Tue May-03-11 03:20 PM by rhombus
It's almost as if the media bends backwards to want to project the 'strength' of the GOP, Dems are wimps narrative.

5. They are still trying to construct a legitimate platform for torture.
I still believe wholeheartedly that Pres O should have prosecuted the Bush Admin for torture. It was and will always be the right thing to do. And it certainly would have put the kibosh on this sick attempt to legitimize the practice.

8. He tweeted, "Wonder what President Obama thinks of water boarding now?" I
tweeted back, "He's still against it as Carney said today. Waterboarding did NOT get info. from KSM that led to bin Laden's death."

16. Oh please. You can have your own opinion but not your own facts.
He was asked a direct question and could have denied it if he wanted to. He didn't and basically confirmed it.

17. I hate to admit this, but you're right. I was so mad that he kept answering that
Edited on Tue May-03-11 08:03 PM by jenmito
although there were a whole bunch of people that gave info. and a whole bunch of clues and other things quilted together, waterboarded detainees WERE part of that source of info. :eyes:

21. No-what Panetta admitted to was that some of the detainees that they got info. from
had been waterboarded. But even THAT made me so angry I could :puke:

18. He gets away with it because enough people elect him into office to do so.
If you're a member of Congress (House or Senate) your voice speaks a little louder than my voice would.

However given Mr. King's history - especially in international politics - I'd would state that I do not trust this guy in telling anything that relates to the real truth in what happened.

29. Peter and his cronies have two basic modes:
1) Lying his ass off
2) sleeping.

There is no third choice.
