| Just watch Fox News for about 5 minutes and... |
|
...heard twice that waterboarding was "only used on three" detainees and that it lead to the capture of Bin Laden.
Have we heard if one bit of evidence that a lead of Osama's courier came from information gained through torture? Do they just make this shit up?
And how many war crimes does it take to produce a war criminal? Only 3? How about 100 years for each count?

They're after ratings from a certain segment of the population. Truth doesn't matter.
Same thing with "Rush". That's a personality he created to make cash, and yes it has worked out well for him.

| 15. Good thing that Faux spins and lies only verbally and virtually |
|
if they physically spun as fast, the network would be just a dizzying sub-light speed blur when anyone tried to tune in.

| 18. on 3 prisoners, but they were each tortured hundreds of times |
|
so that would be a thousand (or more) individual crimes.

| 19. It's a lie in more ways than one. Bush's administration admitted to waterboarding |
|
three detainees and so the RW wants to conclude that torture was limited to those three. Almost certainly, that's not true. Two dozen detainees died at Abu Ghraib alone...strikes to the chest, suffocating inside a sack while being sat on, a bunch of 'heart attacks' etc. Just at Abu Ghraib...not Guantanamo (from where the CO was transfered to Abu Ghraib because he was too harsh), rendition sites in other countries, or our own secret prisons.
They love to narrow and reduce issue to one single element that can be muddied up (waterboarding is torture?). But the truth is that the extent of the program is not discussed in public and is likely much more extensive.
More lies from Fox, the msm pundits, and rw officials.

| 21. I am pretty sure I heard somebody on MSNBC say it as well |
|
Not one of the anchors but one of the guests they had on.
Was it a guest that said it or one of the talking heads?
