CIA Director Panetta indicated that one of the individuals who provided important information had in fact been waterboarded There was some confusion today on some programs, even one on FOX I think, suggesting that I indicated that no one who was waterboarded at Guantanamo provided any information on this. Its not true. No one was waterboarded at Guantanamo by the US military. In fact no one was waterboarded at Guantanamo period. Three people were waterboarded by the CIA away from Guantanamo and then later were brought to Guantanamo. And, in fact, as you pointed out the information from these individuals was critically important.
The Obama Administration is lying.
They dont want to give Bush credit for leading them to Osamas compound. And, they dont want to admit they were wrong about waterboarding.
