It just seemed weird to me that protecting Obama was your first reaction. I didn't mention Dubya, and if I didn't, no one on this board would. And your reply is a prefect example of this.
Honestly, you really only see this as a political opportunity for Obama don't you? There really is no other meaning to you.
Facinating.
? I never said he was tracked to the compound before it was built.
Besides this email copied from your Kos blog, where are you getting this that they got the information in 05 or 06? What information, the name or the nickname? That seems to come from thin air. Remember they got the nickname from the interrogations, and then later connected that to an actual name. You might as well have quoted yourself for all of the accuracy you've provided.

WASHINGTON - Officials say CIA interrogators in secret overseas prisons developed the first strands of information that ultimately led to the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Current and former U.S. officials say that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, provided the nom de guerre of one of bin Laden's most trusted aides. The CIA got similar information from Mohammed's successor, Abu Faraj al-Libi. Both were subjected to harsh interrogation tactics inside CIA prisons in Poland and Romania.
The news is sure to reignite debate over whether the now-closed interrogation and detention program was successful. Former president George W. Bush authorized the CIA to use the harshest interrogation tactics in U.S. history. President Barack Obama closed the prison system.
Even MSNBC is confirming this. I'm watching Hardball now.
uh, not so fast quick-draw
The revelation that intelligence gleaned from the CIA's so-called black sites helped kill bin Laden was seen as vindication for many intelligence officials who have been repeatedly investigated and criticized for their involvement in a program that involved the harshest interrogation methods in U.S. history.
"We got beat up for it, but those efforts led to this great day," said Marty Martin, a retired CIA officer who for years led the hunt for bin Laden.
Mohammed did not reveal the names while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, former officials said. He identified them many months later under standard interrogation, they said, leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic..http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=13512344as for 'protecting Obama'.. check the post time... I posted at 7:44 this AM and you guys were already claiming GWB V-Day and that Obama had nothing to do with it.. that is, if he was even telling the truth.
