President Obama has put an end to waterboarding and other "excessive" means of interrogating al-Qaeda terrorists. In making this decision, Obama is putting American lives at risk. Period.According to memos from the CIA, waterboarding known terrorist thugs and killers saved American lives by thwarting an other 9/11-style attack, this time on Los Angeles.
In the time that Guantanamo Bay has been in the business of keeping terrorist isolated from the world, waterboarding has been used on only 3 people. Three. All three of whom provided information that prevented another 9/11-style attack on the U.S.
After Khalid Sheik Mohammed was captured by the United States, he was not initially cooperative with CIA interrogators. Nor was another top al Qaeda leader named Zubaydah. ...Had Mohammed not been waterboarded, as Obama would have done were the decision his, this nation may have been attacked yet again by the Muslim terrorists, suffering untold loss of life and experiencing uncountable financial disaster.
After he was subjected to the “waterboard” technique, (Mohammed) became cooperative, providing intelligence that led to the capture of key al Qaeda allies and, eventually, the closing down of an East Asian terrorist cell that had been tasked with carrying out the 9/11-style attack on Los Angeles
There may be more examples of lives saved and information gained from interrogating the terrorists, but Obama apparently does not want them released. Much to the dismay of former V.P. Dick Cheney.One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is they put out the legal memos, the memos that the CIA got from the Office of Legal Counsel, but they didn't put out the memos that showed the success of the effort. And there are reports that show specifically what we gained as a result of this activity. They have not been declassified.Let's face it folks, love him or hate him, Cheney is far more competent to discuss policies that aim to keep America safe than Obama. It's just a fact.
Cheney was part of a team that prevented another terrorist attack on U.S. soil for 7 1/2 years after 9/11. Obama wants to shut down interrogation methods that work.
Obama values the life of known terrorist thugs over the lives of the American people. Obama is more concerned with how the rest of the world views the U.S. than keeping your family members from being killed.He would rather you be killed by this cretin in the picture than to have the cretin be uncomfortable.
Feel safer now?

What is obvious is that if the tables had been turned, this 7th-century savage KSM would have been chopping our heads off while making a video of it. Irresponsible grandstanding on the left is to be ignored, these people don’t know -or don’t want to know- what it takes to keep America safe... nor do they understand the nature of the enemy, apparently.
And waterboarding is not a near-drowning technique- the subject is never in danger of drowning. Water boarding is not torture- there is no physical harm to the subject.
Kahlid Sheikh Mohammed is a BAD guy, wouldn’t talk, and was taunting US interrogators with “you’ll see”… so they obtained valuable info from him using this technique, which we now find-out prevented a 9/11-scale attack on Los Angeles. Who cares how many times it took?
It was up to him how long before he decided to cooperate, didn’t have to be this way- looks like he clung stubbornly to a bad decision.
