Quote from: IronDioPriest on May 02, 2011, 10:12:02 AMIf it turns out that Abu Faraq al Libbi coughed up his intel during a waterboarding session, it will just piss all over the Leftist narrative. Thus I would look for an effort to avoid that information being revealed. I just corrected my above post. Fox claimed KSM did also provide the name of the courier, but I have only found evidence that Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, Abu Zubayda and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri were waterboarded, although al Libbi did experience enhanced interogation techniques, it may come to light that he got the trickle down treatment as well.

The fact that the initial tip about the courier emerged from detainee interrogations needs to be unpacked. Were any “enhanced interrogation techniques” used to obtain information about the courier? KSM and al Libbi are two of the small number of detainees who were waterboarded, a technique Obama and current CIA chief Leon Panetta have repeatedly decried as torture. There can be little question that both Al Libbi and KSM were questioned about the courier, whom the CIA was pursuing aggressively, according to the senior administration official: QuoteFour years ago, we uncovered his identity, and for operational reasons, I can’t go into details about his name or how we identified him, but about two years ago, after months of persistent effort, we identified areas in Pakistan where the courier and his brother operated. Still we were unable to pinpoint exactly where they lived, due to extensive operational security on their part. The fact that they were being so careful reinforced our belief that we were on the right track. Then in August 2010, we found their residence, a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, a town about 35 miles north of Islamabad. The area is relatively affluent, with lots of retired military. It’s also insolated [sic] from the natural disasters and terrorist attacks that have afflicted other parts of Pakistan.

QuoteFirst off, regarding my wager on the Obama/Osama name confusion in the media, I have been up for an hour and have already stumbled across my first one...Geraldo did it too. I caught it and documented it here.

Sorry, but that's a well known fake picture. Ace documented that first thing this morning.
When the administration says OBL was buried at sea and that his body was handled "according to Islamic tradition", does that mean they dragged Osama Bin Laden's naked corpse down dirt roads behind a Toyota pickup before sawing off his head and then waving his severed head in front of cameras while screaming "God is great"?Just wondering.
