Oops. Turns out waterboarding does work and we initially learned the the identify of the courier who lead us to Osama Bin Laden from Sheikh Khalid Mohammed during a waterboarding session.
Here’s what then Senator Obama said about waterboarding back in October 2007:
“The secret authorization of brutal interrogations is an outrageous betrayal of our core values, and a grave danger to our security. We must do whatever it takes to track down and capture or kill terrorists, but torture is not a part of the answer – it is a fundamental part of the problem with this administration’s approach. Torture is how you create enemies, not how you defeat them. Torture is how you get bad information, not good intelligence. Torture is how you set back America’s standing in the world, not how you strengthen it.”
And here’s an equally incensed Senator Joe Biden saying the same thing on Face The Nation:
Biden on Waterboarding by hotairpundit
Will Obama and Biden now retract their statements and admit that Bush’s policies worked?
Don’t hold your breath. Unless you’re being waterboarded, that is.
