It will be hard to convince me that torture helped us get OBL.

I will have to see photographs of the torturers and video of the terrorist providing details that helped to located Osama bin Laden.

Not for me mind you, but to satify the "conspiracy theorists", of course.

1. Torture is immoral. republicans support torture. Therefore republicans are immoral.

It's only logical!

2. Ya got to love the wing nut spin even the media is picking up on that fact

Obama stopped illegal questioning methods after taking office yet are at the same time they are trying to say that Torture produced information that lead to OBL being caught/killed. Yet they leave out the fact that OBL had been there 5 to 6 years so either Chimp was a glaring incompetent or Chimp was a "moran". Remember this is about the time frame when Chimp was under the impression OBL was still living in a cave somewhere on the border. So what is really happening is no one on the other side wants to admit the black guy did what the decider couldn't do.

3. except there is written documentation stating that torture did NOT get them the info

when tortured the people lied. months later, when a regular interrogation, they gave them a code name and then years later a name.

5. Enough of that crap already. What does it matter

if it helped us get OBL or not? It is illegal either way. Even if torture did help us get OBL, does it make it alright then?
If you think that it does, write to you congressmen and ask them to adopt a new law making torture legal. Until then
it will remain illegal whether it helps us with anything or not.
