To permit the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq.

@zl1vette427 You know that there is report from the interrogators that says waterboarding was actually causing us to get information slower?

"eh heh heh heh ... um I mean, I repeat, I truly am not concerned about him."

The Constitution does not prohibit torture -- it doesn't even contain the word. It prohibits 'cruel and unusual' punishment, like cutting off an 8-year old's hand for stealing a candy bar. Yes, low-level people who get waterboarded are likely to give false information. But Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the #3 man in Al Queda -- he had information and we knew he had information. They got it out of him. It saved American lives. Thank God for waterboarding.

@zl1vette427 - the problem with torture is the unreliable information obtained.
Imagine yourself in the position of being tortured, they keep asking you for information that you don't have and they keep torturing you, what do you do?
Do you start to say things you think they want to hear to get them to stop?

@zl1vette427 I understand that it may be necessary and they are not in America, but the Constitution states that there shall be no cruel or unusual punishment, water boarding would probably fit that category. I believe he, as an American, is trying his best to stick to our principles

Osama Bin Laden hasn't been much to worry about. Bush went after OBL and took out the Taliban which is why he was in Pakistan to begin with. Obama says its OK to put a bullet in OBL's head, but not water up his nose ? Killing is OK, but waterboarding at Gitmo is not ?
President Obama was concerned about him. He made that clear! Damn it feels good to have a President we can respect.
