Get it straight, Cap'n. Half black.
The black part of Obama resulted in Osama being shot...the white part (probably some Italian in there) resulted in Osama sleeping with the fishes.

Simple answer... if they don't release the video or photographic evidence that is indisputable of the takedown a scandal will ensue.

They've decided to release a photo.
Now the teabaggers will demand a death certificate.

Nice try, but beating people to the punch on the left's part does not cover up the fact that it was "intensive interrogations" at Guantanamo Bay that led to Osama Bin Laden.
The FACT that the real name of OBL's most trusted courier was revealed by Gitmo detainees in 2007 is not in dispute, although it is being GREATLY minimized by the media at this point.
The FACT that this information started the ball rolling to the eventual death of Bin Laden is not in dispute, although some will try to do so.
The FACT that President Obama made the closure of Gitmo one of his primary campaign promises right around the time that those detainees were giving up the intel that led to the death of Bin Laden is the very HEART of irony.
Look up Abu Faraj al-Libbi. Wonder how many times he was waterboarded?
There is NO way to spin this any other way. The facts are there, but just don't look on MSNBC or CNN for them.
(By the way.... GITMO is still open for business.... tick tock tick tock tick tock.....

No. It wasn't.
Mohammed did not discuss al-Kuwaiti while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, former officials said. He acknowledged knowing him many months later under standard interrogation, they said

See if you can find some articles that say the information was confessed under "intensive interrogations" as Cid1990 claimed.

Don't worry Obummer will f this up somehow.
The original story released by the white house is already changing.
--
"The White House backed away Monday evening from key details in its narrative about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, including claims by senior U.S. officials that the Al Qaeda leader had a weapon and may have fired it during a gun battle with U.S. forces.
Officials also retreated from claims that one of bin Laden’s wives was killed in the raid and that bin Laden was using her as a human shield before she was shot by U.S. forces. ...."

I figured that all the donk board bobbleheads would have was funny pictures and nitpicking the fact in rebuttal.
Al Libbi was treated to the very same treatment that you pantywaists were crying about for years... sleep deprivation, INTENSIVE interrogations (they weren't saying "pretty please"), high stress motivation, etc.
You are an idiot, SK. Don't bother trying to sping this around. You'll just take another beating. The intel that led to OBL came from GITMO detainees.
Suck it. (And take Mr. Fat Boy Funny Pictures/No Substance with you)
Remember.... in 2007 Obama was promising to close Gitmo as one of his main campaign issues.

I've never cared about sleep deprivation and such.
And I'm an idiot? Here's Donald Rumsfeld's take on whether it was "intensive interrogations" that led to Osama.
Donald Rumsfeld wrote:]“It is true that some information that came from normal interrogation approaches at Guantanamo did lead to information that was beneficial in this instance. But it was not harsh treatment and it was not waterboarding.”

Be sure to let him know that he is confused and an idiot.
Sounds to me like you are the one trying to spin this.

Rumsfeld is covering up and you're in denial.

Let me clue you in, Sweetheart.
Every single interrogation done at Gitmo was either done in an adversarial manner, or they were done with the THREAT of returning to the adversarial versions. You know nothing about what you are attempting to talk about. (As usual.)
Again, nitpick what kinds of interrogations were done when the bad guy gave up the ghost all you want. There's no changing where this all came from, and the left's core argument against Gitmo was that it was unconstitutional for the place to exist in the first place.
Those were not police interrogations going on there. Unless you were behind the wire (or know someone who was) over the last few years, then I suggest you save some face now and STFU, because the people who broke Al Libbi are going to start talking very soon. I'll bump this thread for you and the rest of the Obamabots when that happens.

I know you give the current administration your unwavering support and gladly drink their Kool-Aid, but according to people of your ilk, the Bush Administration lied all the time.
This situation is still fluid so the actual truth won't be known for sometime. The White House is constantly backing off initial claims about many of the details of this operation since Sunday, so just be a little patient.
We have gathered vast quantities of valuable information over the last decade through intensive interrogation tactics. It won't be a surprise to the more intelligent ones out there that much of this information was most probably gathered the same way.

Goodenuff argument for you and I to just leave SK in this thread by himself at this point.

Based on no evidence. You're just wanting to believe that torture led to Bin Laden. But, no one has shown any evidence of that.
I've posted evidence that it was standard interrogations that led to the information. But, somehow I'm the kool aid drinker and the one trying to spin this.

That would be what's referred to as "pulling a Travis."

There was no torture at Guantanamo Bay, Sweetie.
