Just read an article today by Jose a rodriguez jr. "How we really got bin Laden". He is a 31 year veteran of the CIA who leaves no doubt as to who should get the credit. Obama ordered the closing of the facilities and stopped the tactics which led to Osama an his second day in office. Then takes credit for finding him when Bush did all the groundwork. Obama cancelled the possibilty of ever doing something like that again. What an idiot. I read the article, which details all the information and how we got it, in the charlotte observer. Author is a special to the washington post...if you can find it online please post a link. Thanks

This is about the enhanced interrogation issue.

And, there is another side to that story, and in fact Mr. Rodriguez has previously been determined to have destroyed evidence concerning the use of that technique despite instruction not to.

He, at best, a highly dubious source.

Osama Bin Laden Raid Wasn't Based On CIA Torture Interrogations, Senators Say

And I especially question him discussing this in such detail in a political move by him, when he has been determined to have destroyed evidence detrimental to his position, again, after instruction not to do so.

If this is the guy you are going to rely on for this, or related topics, God help you.

Indeed, in 1997 he was censured by the CIA inspector general, under the Bush administration, for having interceded in the case of a friend in Dominican Republic. He was labeled by the Bush administration as having shown a "remarkable lack of judgment."

Telling in that video about how Seals getting killed would be horrible for the President (politically). I understand why Clinton said that in the ad but when you think about it in context it does sound pretty damn shallow.

Why would I value the opinion of an admitted Obama lover lawyer over a guy who served in the CIA for over 30 years with first hand knowledge of the situation, the informants, the locations, and the techniques used? Logic like that is the reason this country and our economy is on the ropes.

It's early so I could be reading you wrong but how could that be possible since Bush Sr was out in 93 and Bush Jr didn't come in until 2001?

Those words are LG's "paraphrase" of this:
Issues in CIA career

Like many officers in the Latin American Division, during the Iran-Contra Affair, Rodriguez was questioned by the FBI about his role in the scandal after allegations of CIA involvement emerged.[15] No charges or actions were brought against him in connection to Iran-Contra. Much later, in 1997, Rodriguez interceded in the drug-related arrest of a friend in the Dominican Republic, reportedly trying to ensure he was not abused or mis-treated. According to the New York Times, the CIA's inspector general criticized Mr. Rodriguez for a “remarkable lack of judgment.”[16] Few details are public regarding this incident and it clearly did not rise to a level that precluded Rodriguez from being immediately assigned to a sensitive and important follow-on task, namely Station Chief in Mexico.

LG's twisted paraphrase says a lot about the author and nothing about the subject.
