Sen. John McCain denounced “advanced interrogation” methods like waterboarding Wednesday amid a growing debate over its effectiveness reopened by the killing of Osama bin Laden. McCain told reporters leaving an intelligence briefing for senators by CIA director Leon Panetta that he has seen no information so far to indicate that techniques like waterboarding factored significantly in the information gathering that led to bin Laden’s death. “So far I know of no information that was obtained, that would have been useful, by ‘advanced interrogation.’ In fact, according to published reports … some of the key people who knew about this courrier denied it,” McCain said, careful to note that he was not relaying information from Panetta’s classified session with Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committee members. “Where there is published information in the various newspapers and media that the information about this courrier was intercepted conversation between two individuals — that’s as far as I know,” the top Republicans on the Armed Services Committee added. “I stand on the side of the United States and by the Geneva conventions, of which we are signatories, which we were in violation of by waterboarding.” Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/54301.html#ixzz1LPfMZRvs

Yes, its true. McCain is still an idiot.
bin Laden's last Facebook Post: 'Brb! Someone's at the door!'
Tell it to Panetta. He says it did.
Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??
Since when do you take a Democrats word over a Republican?
"I don't know where he is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - George W. Bush
So I wonder if Panetta is going to get beat around the head and shoulders with the Wookies underwear for speaking the "TRUTH".....

This "idiot" was the guy the GOP nominated as its presidential contender just 2 years ago. Chuckle.
"Thats because your basically and idiot." It was basically "his turn" for the nomination.... I can't wait to see if they are going to be that stupid again and nominate the next one in line????

They don't exactly have a cadre of brain surgeons to pick from, remember this is a party that casts disdain upon those with an education.
"Thats because your basically and idiot." Sadly,
