Jonah Goldberg has a great piece over at NRO that looks at some of Obama’s claims about Winston Churchill’s alleged refusal to torture. It seems Obama doesn’t quite have his facts right. The interrogation methods used by the British military against captured German soldiers included sleep deprivation, exposure to cold, and other psychological techniques.

In fact, they used many of the same techniques used at Gitmo that Obama and his ACLU cronies call “torture.” Moreoever, the techniques worked then as they did after 9/11.

Read my latest column in BlogCritic Magazine. It’s in response to an article on The Huffington Post by a Yemeni man who says he was kidnapped by the CIA and held without trial. He was released after 19 months and is now being represented by all the usual human rights groups. He wants the people responsible for his detainment to be identified and prosecuted. Obviously, I don’t share that sentiment.

A videotaped interrogation by Canadian officials of a weeping teenage Guantanamo Bay prisoner was released over the Internet Tuesday, in what is believed to be the first such video from the U.S. facility seen by the public.

All I can say is boo-hoo! That little thug threw a grenade at American soldiers in Afghanistan where he was holed up with his Al-Qaeda pals. The fact that he’s in as good a shape as he is shows just how over-the-top humane we are to these killers.

The International Herald Tribune has a detailed account of how 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, was captured and interrogated. Learn about a soft-spoken CIA analyst named Duece Martinez who became instrumental in the interrogation of high profile terrorists.

The article offers some amazing insight into how the War on Terror was conducted in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 and how we’ve managed to prevent new attacks. The men and women who work behind the scenes both in the U.S. and around the world to keep our country safe are true heroes.

As much as all the Bush haters in this country would just love it, there is no evidence to suggest that the White House had anything to do with the destruction of the CIA tapes.

Congressional investigators have turned up no evidence that anyone in the Bush administration openly advocated the tapes’ destruction, according to officials familiar with a set of classified documents forwarded to Capitol Hill. “It was an agency decision — you can take it to the bank,” CIA Director Michael V. Hayden said in an interview on Friday. “Other speculations that it may have been made in other compounds, in other parts of the capital region, are simply wrong.”

It was the head of Clandestine Services, Jose Rodriguez who acted against the earlier advice of at least five senior CIA and White House officials, who had counseled the agency since 2003 that the tapes should be preserved.

Rodriguez consulted CIA lawyers and officials, who told him that he had the legal right to order the destruction. In his view, he received their implicit support to do so, according to his attorney, Robert S. Bennett.

I’m betting that after all is said and done that Mr. Rodriguez will be seen as having acted lawfully when he ordered the destruction of the interrogation tapes.

Mr. Rodriguez is a patriot and deserves a great deal of thanks. He knew it was only a matter of time before some traitor at the agency got a hold of those tapes and presented them to the NY Times with a big red bow on them.

Those tapes should have never been made in the first place, because our government is incapable of keeping secrets. The very existence of those interrogation tapes placed our interrogation program and national security at risk.

The anti-American/anti-Bush crowd would have given anything to get their grubby, liberal, mitts on those tapes and used them to do great damage to this country.
