We did waterboard two of them and listen to some international calls.

And substantial intelligence that "saved lives" was gained by the waterboarding.

Now, Obama said he wouldn't waterboard because it is torture (it isn't torture, of course, in the opinions of many [including me]). What we know is that his refusal to do so would have cost innocent lives.

How can a person justify that position? It is downright bizarre to me. You can waterboard this scum for 2.5 minutes and save lives or you can do nothing?

How is there even a decision to be made about this? Any 8 year old can figure it out.

Obama: "If we make this terrorist uncomfortable for 3 minutes we can save innocent lives. What do you think we should do?"

8-year old: "WTF are you waiting for? Are you f*cking stupid? Let's get busy."
