Saudis see Obama as FOOL over torture position

"The current debate over "torture"--the waterboarding of three high-level al Qaeda leaders in order to obtain information about threatened attacks--is an example of public discourse at its worst. From Barack Obama on down, most of what has been said by critics of harsh interrogation has been dumb, disingenuous or both. Waterboarding is, as I've often said, a humane alternative to actual torture. It frightens (even when, as in the case of the three al Qaeda terrorists, they are told beforehand that it may feel like they're drowning, but they won't) but does no physical harm. None."
