How does Obama justify his use of information obtained by "torture"?
Fox News | 5/2/11

Posted on 05/02/2011 3:48:27 AM PDT by DBCJR

On Fox News this morning, retired NYFD, Tim Brown, stated that the intel that located Bin Laden started under the Bush administration and probably was obtained using interrogation methods Obama condemned. Obama did not only condemn these methods, he called for the release of those captured and held because of them.

Now, under Obama, we kill Osama, using information obtained by what Obama calls "torture." How does he justify that? I am elated that Osama is dead but I do not understand Obama's rationale on the point.

Obama fails to appreciate that, in the training of our own forces, we have used water boarding to toughen their resistance to interrogation methods. What he is saying is that we "torture" our own troops.

Obama's reasoning is convoluted at best. It appears that he is inconsistent with his own principles, if he has them.

I’m glad that Bin Laden is dead. Your post is right on target as to how and when this operation actually started.

If ANYONE thinks that this event marks the end of terrorism by the Muzzies they are sadly mistaken.

I saw last night on the web somewhere that one Al Qaeda group has threatened to detonate a nuclear warhead they have somewhere in Europe, that they will rain a “nuclear hailstorm”. I question whether they have such a bomb but who knows? They will want to recapture their “victor status.”

Obama has about as much to do with the death of OBL as I have to do with the price of tea in China.

Bin Laden was found using intel collected via policies and mechanisms put in place under Bush, policies and mechanisms that Obama vowed to end. Period.

Obama inherited a program—to locate, capture or kill Bin Laden—that began when he was in the Illinois state legislature. He falsely tried to infer last night that he initiated the whole thing.

he’s Obama, not Bush so it is ok to even cut someone’s fingers and genitalia as long as it gets the job done.

Indeed Obama’s reasoning is convoluted at best,the only thing he had to do with the operation was give the nod on what our own forces had planed.

“Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader. He was a mass murderer of Muslims,” Obama said.

Obama more concerned about his fellow Muslims that Bin Laden killed than all our fellow Americans that were killed. And Obama made sure Bin Laden received a proper Muslim burial. Obama is a POS.

Usama was a devout wahhabi Muslim. Apparently, Obama did not get the memo.

Treason I say.

I still remember how Bush was lambasted by the worthless main stream media when he said Bin Laden was wanted dead or alive.

Good, maybe now that you are not busy you can testify under path how you managed to get a US passport???

If you are not aware today Gary Kreep is before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals giving 10 minutes of oral arguments.

If this statement by Kreep is true, Obama is a NATURALIZED citizen at best...

“He said he traveled to Pakistan in the 1980s, but on what kind of passport? He said he didn’t have a U.S. passport until he was senator in 2004,” Kreep said.
