    No, because it says it in the telegraph article. Not the Times article. As I said in the other thread (taht's another problem, you are responding to arguments that start in one thread in another thread - and confusing yourself) - if the telegraph article is wrong then your quarrel is with that article.

    Second, I have absolutely no idea what point you are trying to prove here now.

    Now you seem to be arguing that KSM didn't give them the real name at all --> if he didn't, that makes the "waterboarding worked on KSM!" argument even more demonstrably wrong than it is as it was being argued by the pro-torture chorus a few days ago, via the Ashton Kutcher "fear of torture made him eventually give it up!!!" failgument.

    A half-r****ded monkey could have made the right decision with the "pool of evidence." Do you let America's top-trained specialists go in and do their job? Or do you go out back and shoot hoops on the White House's basketball court? Any president of the USA would have made the same decision with the same position he was in. Check yourself, puss.

    There. Sorry, but I needed to make sure your fully-r****ded post was at least grammatically correct. Now, bend and flush.

    New NBC news poll says 80% of the country says killing Bin Laden was the right decision.

    Thank You Mr President!

    If it were Bush, you would be one of those 11% condemning bush for assassinating bin laden instead of giving him a fair trial.

    No, but I am considerably perturbed about and condemn Obama's recent attempt to assassinate American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki.

    I would want an investigation first. Possibly, depending on the legal technicalities he should be prosecuted, and we can see about impeachment then.
