here's just a small excerpt of McCain's speech!

WASHINGTON – Waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques were not a factor in tracking down Osama bin Laden, a leading Republican senator insisted Thursday.

Sen. John McCain, who spent 5 1/2 years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, also rejected the argument that any form of torture is critical to U.S. success in the fight against terrorism.

In an impassioned speech on the Senate floor, the Arizona Republican said former Attorney General Michael Mukasey and others who back those tactics were wrong to claim that waterboarding al-Qaida's No. 3 leader, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, provided information that led to bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.

McCain spoke with an unrivaled record on the issue.
he qouted that they water boarded this man 183 times and he gave false answers everytime!
And under senate and judicial oath several involved claimed they waterboarded no more than 3 people!
of course you know those repukes that put a hand on the bible always are truthfull!
check's in the mail!

1. her,s alittle more to show how the right is fooled

I copied a section of this from the main forum:
The case being made by conservatives — that Bin Laden’s death vindicates torture — was spelled out last week by former Bush
AG Mukasey in an Op ed in the Wall Street Journal. Mukasey argued that the trail to Bin Laden “began with a disclosure from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who broke like a dam under the pressure of harsh interrogation techniques that included waterboarding. He loosed a torrent of information — including eventually the nickname of a trusted courier of bin Laden.” <...> Washington Post

a portion of the letter's text appears at the link above. If he had a conscience, it would make Sean Hannity's head spin around like Regan in The Exorcist. And Peter king's, too. But because neither of them actually have a conscience, they can continue their bullshit on FOX and the legions of Palinites can parrot absolute falsehoods.

MOST OF THOSE FOOLS THING ONLY THOSE MONEY GRUBBERS KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!
200 YEARS AGO WE HAS SNAKE OIL SALESMAN;TODAY THEY ARE SELLIN OUT OUR FREEDOM TO THE DRONES!
