McCain Wrong On Waterboarding

Bill O'reilly points out a few facts that McCain does not answer when it comes to waterboarding. The U.S. government since 9-11 has waterboarded all of 3 people with very succesful results. All were high ranking members of Al-Qaeda. They gave up information that saved lives. McCain unfortunately does not respond to these facts and simply says he is against torture and follows the Geneva Convention. O'reilly attempts to point out that these are not POW's but rather high ranking terrorist enemy combatants that are picked up in battle that fight for no nation and are part of no national army. McCain's response again is weak. This is one of the reasons I personally did not vote McCain in the primary. Republicans have not presented us with a candidate who understands the utility of waterboarding in extreme circumstances. One of these three cases was Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, a mastermind of the 9-11 plot, who did not give over any information without waterboarding. When he was finally waterboarded it only took a couple of minutes, longer than most CIA operatives subjected to waterboarding, before he gave over valuable information. Simply put, McCain is wrong on waterboarding.
