So, Whose In Favor Of A Little Waterboarding?: Harsh Interrogation In CIA Secret Prisons Under Bush Helped Lead To Raid On Osama Bin Laden

"Harsh interrogation" in secret CIA prisons under the Bush administration helped lead to the death of Osama Bin Laden as reported by the Associated Press:

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.


Among that "harsh interrogation" used was waterboarding.
