WASHINGTON — Intelligence garnered from waterboarded detainees was used to track down al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and kill him, CIA Chief Leon Panetta told NBC News on Tuesday.

"Enhanced interrogation techniques" were used to extract information that led to the mission's success, Panetta said during an interview with anchor Brian Williams. Those techniques included waterboarding, he acknowledged.

Panetta, who in a 2009 CIA confirmation hearing declared "waterboarding is torture and it's wrong," said Tuesday that debate about its use will continue.

But was it harsh interrogation that led to the critical information? The identity and whereabouts of the courier came to light only years later, after the enhanced interrogation had stopped.

"Enhanced" interrogation doesn't stop until successful. Somebody cracked under the waterfall.

Obama has water on his hands.

those being tortured will say whatever they think the interrogator wants to hear so the torture will stop.

I suggest you take some time to read:

I don't care if it's torture. I am pro torture.
Use it. They do. Our soldiers deserve it from us.

the problem is torture doesn't provide reliable intelligence. You would take credit for planning 9/11 if I strapped you to a board and poured water down your throat. It's why those who have extensive experience in interrogations, such as Malcolm Nance, don't advocate its use.
