Many other violent methods would have worked as well, I'm sure. nossy Send a noteboard - 02/05/2011 07:41:58 PM
I don't see a link for this yet, so take this for what it's worth, but ABC News just mentioned this during their hourly radio news report that the courier/aide for UBL that was tracked back to his hideout was originally ID'ed via waterboarding.

Assuming this is true, thoughts?

In my mind, this shows the value of using "agressive interogation techniques" in some situations.

But we say we're not that kind of people. Imo, it's up to us to show an example, or we have no right to "police" other people's methods.
