John Yoo thinks that while Obama can take the credit for the success of Osama Bin Laden's death, the soldiers should deserve more credibility for making the tough decisions. Had it not been for Bush's policies and his administration, they would have never caught Osama, according to this article. "The use of torture [under the Bush administration]... has been vindicated by bin Laden’s death." Was the use of waterboarding implemented in the torture process? Not according to Obama administration’s deputy national security adviser, John Brennan. According to the 9/11 Commission, KSM was tortured through waterboarding in order to leak and valuable piece of information. He provided Bin Ladens' courier's name, only to be found out later that it was a fake under standard interrogation techniques.
