THANK GOD 4 Bush Policy of Enhanced Interrogation

[deacon blues]

As more information about Sunday's mission that led to the death of OBL and the extraction of his body, we are finding out that the seeds for it were sown through the enhanced interrogations of Khaled Sheik Mohammed and other detainees at Gitmo. KSM identified that OBL had a courier and gave up some names during the Bush years that eventually led to identifying the courier that led to finding OBL's hideout.

Bush was under a lot of criticism and pressure from liberal and media elites to discontinue waterboarding and other methods of interrogation that were labeled as "below who we are" as a nation. There was no proof that these methods posed any real danger to the physical health of those who were interrogated. Yet Bush critics couldn't say enough to continue the drumbeat against such tactics.

One thing that I loved about Bush was he would stick to his guns when he felt that what he was doing was right for the country. I didn't agree with a lot of the domestic and fiscal policies of the Bush years, but the War on Terror was well executed. I'm thankful Bush didn't cave to the PC crowd and kept the pressure on the terrorists and their leaders and the detainees.
