Obama Says There’s A More Effective Way To Interrogate Prisoners

In President Barack Obama’s comments recently about Guantanamo prisoners, he made the following statement:
“I know some have argued that brutal methods like water-boarding were necessary to keep us safe. I could not disagree more. As Commander-in-Chief, I see the intelligence, I bear responsibility for keeping this country safe, and I reject the assertion that these are the most effective means of interrogation.”

An intelligent individual can only assume that if someone says that waterboarding, the end results as claimed by former Vice President Dick Cheney that warded off other attacks and potentially saved hundreds of thousands of lives, is not the most effective way, then what is?

Barack Obama seemed to think that revealing to the world all the details about the interrogation methods used at Guantanamo in no way put our intelligence system in jeopardy, then he should feel quite at liberty to share with at least the American people what his more effective ways of interrogation are.

You have taken the discussion to a different level. Most in this country have only been dealing with the moral issue of first trying to define what is considered torture and secondly whether the idea of “enhanced interrogation” yielded results that would be considered justifiable by most Americans.

Come on Mr. President. Talk is cheap. Anyone can spout off about what methods are effective and what’s not. You sir, have claimed that there are more effective ways. Why don’t you enlighten all of us.
