        You (and the Fox morans) are making it so obvious that this isn't about national security, just your own gratification. If you love torture so much go live in Saudi Arabia, ya perverted freak.

        Why?

        They want to get accurate, actionable information from him. If they torture him, they won't get any.

      to what avail? All previous actionable information gained from captured terrorists was obtained PRIOR to the torture techniques, including waterboarding. Once the torture started the truth stopped and the victim would say anything the torturers told him to say - whatever it took to get the torture to stop. Cheney, Bolling, OldCon (commentor above) and all those advocating for torture - you're no better than a bunch of street thugs. You're angry people who think you're going to get some relief from your pent up rage by beating up on someone while others hold him down. very sick - seek help!

        Punkin..people with the attitude of the Old Con still believe the "24" is real life. Today, with reports that filming of "24" has stopped because Keifer Sutherland needs some type of operation will really confuse the believers.
        ---Any wagers that Fox News will report this all day long explaining to their cultists that that terrorists didn't hurt Jack and that he will be back defending America soon.
        Maybe Beck with chalk to his followers how Jack Bauer was instrumental in capturing this lastest bad guy.

          I think Old is the operative word here or perhaps there were too many people using the name LoonyOldCon.

          Still, it's always good to hear from the fringe and nice to see that they can still find the Caps Lock key.

            So uh mr. ... OldCon, why do you think he should be waterboarded? specifically stated by mr. or ms.punkin that waterboarding doesnt work so why do people like you or Beck, Cheney, Bush or Bolling hope to gain in torturing someone. Obviously a horribly military tactic then again the so called military strategists we have now are pretty bad as it is. Any other ignorant republican or right winger want to explain why they think or support waterboarding? Anyone? *crickets* Thought so.

              Waterboarding is good for eliciting false confessions. Maybe that's why Darth Cheney loved it so much; he needed a lot of false confessions to justify his Oil War.

                  Oh, yeah. Wasn't that the guy they waterboarded 85 times, or something like that?

                  Funny how that story kind of just.... went away. In fact, most of the stories that make the Bush Junta look bad tend to fade out of sight rather quickly, even on the so-called "Liberal" networks. Why is that?

      Well, the Troglodytes had to find some way to criticize the Obama administration for capturing this guy, who is currently being interrogated by the CIA.

      Further indication that their mission is to whale on Obama no matter what he does; no matter what he says.

        It would seem they (Beck supporters) would rather the United States not get information and make Obama look bad than get information by non water-boarding means (the most effective means if you ask the experts) and save lives.

        After all, this is the group that was angered when their President won the Nobel Peace prize and was thrilled when their country lost out on the Olympics. Partisonship first, and their country... somewhere down the list.

      Notice the dismayed look of the panelists. They are clearly un happy that the Obama Administration has scored points big time against Al Quaeda. Now they have to spin this to make it seem that this arrest is not being handled properly. If this guy was captured in Pakistan, wouldn't Pakistani law prevail? Regardless, if the Bush Administration had made a capture of this nature these clowns would be breakdancing about it and no further questions would have been asked. Notice how Doocy asks, how come the Pakistani military is all of a sudden cooperating with the CIA. Maybe diplomacy Doofus?

        GBU:

        I could not agree more.

        It reminds me of the Muersk Alabama hi-jacking last year, and how Fox News and their enablers almost seemed disappointed when it turned out okay (pirates dead, hostage rescued safely), and Obama did not fall on his face.

        These idiots want Obama to fail so badly that were Bin Laden captured tomorrow, they'd find some way to downplay it.

      Change of game plan?

      As Rachel Maddow pointed out... every terrorist captured since 2001 has been Mirandized... that includes the years that Cheney and Bush were in the White House.

      There has been no change of Game Plan

      Fox News talks about our Judicial System as if it's weak or something that should not be trusted, but it's the same system and process that we have been using since 9/11... so where were they pre-Obama to denounce the Mirandizing of terrorists?

      Oh wait, I forgot, there's a President that they no longer support.
