Why is Chronicle headlining "No Torture?"
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 5/4/11 | Debra J. Saunders

Posted on 05/04/2011 10:55:21 AM PDT by SmithL

You may have seen today's above-the-fold Chronicle headline, "No torture used in manhunt" for Osama bin Laden. I don't see how that headline made it into the paper without an attribution that makes clear that the story is based on statements by Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Be it noted, the Chronicle uses the word torture to describe "enhanced interrogation techniques" or detention techniques, including, but not limited to, waterboarding.

I thought people in San Francisco were all into torture and S&M.

Looks like they are hell-bent on denying the facts.

The left is just outrightly denying that KSM gave up the currier’s identity during an ‘enhanced’ interrogation. Now THEY are the tin foil hatted conspiracists.

The homophiles can only behave the way they were born. They can’t help what passes as truth and news.

Who are you going to believe, CIA Chief Panetta or Obamabot Feinstein? No contest.

The Chronicle has less credibility than Al Jazeera.

When will we finally stop equating waterboarding and sleep deprivation with torture. And certainly lets not compare enhanced interrogation to a close range shot of "hot lead to the head"!

The insanity of liberals never ceases to amaze me...

The liberals cannot admit that we ever got any useful information from enhanced interrogation.

So, the liberal media has decided to run stories which show that we got our information without the use of “torture” and connect the dots, and got information by being nice to the dudes at Gitmo.

The news media now regularly violates every standard of ethical reporting. Ergo they have ceased being news organizations and now more closely resemble partisan political tabloids.

They're a joke. F em.

Over the years I've come to realize that they are merely propaganda shills for the DNC/Socialist Party. I don't expect to hear/read facts from their sources, unless they are selective in nature, or are prefaced with subjective opinions (of the leftist variety).

Thus I give the print and television media a wide-berth. They are good for nothing, other than to raise one's blood pressure.

The NARRATIVE is ALL they care about.
They dont care about any thing else except making sure Bush gets no credit.

The combination of “Feinstein” AND “Intelligence Committee” makes my skin crawl.

No, but thanks to liberals terrorists have gained useful information regarding enhanced information.

It is sickening. After this strike, this administration is falling all over themselves to prove to Islam that they mean no harm. I would venture to say the operation was a success in spite of those who govern now.
