White House Press Secretary Jay Carney refused to answer a reporters question on whether enhanced interrogation techniques gleaned information that led to the attack on Osama Bin Laden’s compound. Carney said it was a number of sources that led them to Osama’s courier. He also said Obama is still against enhanced interrogation techniques despite the fact that they led to Sunday’s successful mission.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed provided the CIA with the name of bin Laden’s personal courier after waterboarding. The other source for Osama. It was also al-Qaida facilitator Hassan Ghul, a terrorist captured in Iraq, who gave US officials information on the courier’s identity.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (above) provided the CIA with the name of bin Laden’s personal courier. So did Iraqi terrorist Hassan Gul.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden are both on record claiming that waterboarding was not effective.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) doubles down….
“The initial information on the courier was obtained from waterboarding in 2003. That came from Khalid Sheik Mohammad… People who were on the ground and very familiar to the situation told me this.”

Terror Expert Fred Burton: Waterboarding Led Us to Osama Bin Laden
“It’s my understanding that the intelligence nugget that we first got was based on the courier’s pseudonym which came from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed through enhanced interrogation techniques when he was first located in one of our out of the country prisons… I think it’s very good intelligence information that the original nugget of information surfaced during his first interview at an out of the country facility.” ~ Fred Burton

Wild Thing’s comment…….
Obama would love for the citizens of our country to be stupid, when in fact the stupidity lies mostly with his kool-aid drinkers that voted for this POS.
We KNOW waterboarding works and over time we have had proof that it does.
IF and I mean IF the GOPhers are smart – for ONCE – they’ll research all of ObaMAO’s 2008 campaign rhetoric about closing GITMO and WATERBOARDING is torture and show these FACTS to the American public this fall…
