Santorum: McCain doesn't understand interrogation

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former Sen. Rick Santorum said Tuesday that Sen. John McCain, who spent 5 1/2 years enduring brutal treatment at the hands of his North Vietnamese captors, doesn't know how effective waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques can be. The Republican presidential contender insisted the tactics led the United States to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a speech last week that waterboarding al-Qaida's No. 3 leader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, did not provide information that led to bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.

McCain said he asked CIA Director Leon Panetta for the facts, and that the hunt for bin Laden did not begin with fresh information from Mohammed. In fact, the name of bin Laden's courier, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, came from a detainee held in another country.

"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.

hubris of the Esteemed Mr. Santorum continues to amaze......

he is eligible to lecture women on how they can't understand childbirth. I also would like to list the following areas in which his expertise out trumps (snicker) anyone else:

The African-American experience in America
What it means to be Native American in post WWII America
Female: The Great Mystery of the Vagina
How they get the tootsie roll inside the suckers
How ugly and stupid he is as a teabagger in relation to normal people
How craptastic it was to take his dead baby home, have his children hold it, have a picture of it sitting on his desk.

and he knows it - that is the best part

I can see him now - :banghead:

to discredit those who disagree with them.

with that dead fetus

What a bizarre thing to say.

'harsh methods of interrogation' himself, that is about as low as even Santorum could go.

They're all losers, and they're making sure the public knows it :D

:rofl:

It wouldn't surprise me if they discovered bodies in his basement someday.

They never disappoint.

:rofl:

It's even in Wiki:

Santorum (neologism)
The word santorum /sænˈtɔərəm/ is a sexual neologism for a "frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex," and was proposed by readers of American humorist and sex-advice columnist Dan Savage in 2003 to "memorialize" then-Republican U.S. Senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania, prompted by controversy over his statements on homosexuality.<1> Savage asked his readers to submit new definitions for the term.<1> The word became a successful Google bomb when Savage created a website for it, which unseated the Senator's official website as the top search result for his surname on the Google web search engine.<2><3> In 2010, Dan Savage offered to remove his website if Rick Santorum would agree to donate US$5 million to a gay rights group, Freedom to Marry, which advocates on behalf of same-sex marriage in the United States.<4><5>

The lesson of this is to never piss off a gay man who has a very popular newspaper column!

A disgusting byproduct of the pleasurable act of watching Republicans stab each other in the back.

...run your mouth like a total a-hole concerning things you know nothing about, sound supercillious, then weenie out of responsibility...soooo republicon.

Let him run let him run let him run.

It will be sweeeeeeet to hand him the ass-kicking he so richly deserves. Maybe we'll get to see his kids cry again.

And if not, GOP, please just go fuck yourselves.
