President Obama claimed that the brutal use of waterboarding to extract actionable, life saving intelligence from terrorists wasn't necessary to keep us safe since 9/11 and that gentler, kinder more humane methods were available to the Bush Administration and master torturer Dick Cheney to get this information and save lives.
Dennis Prager in today's column: "President Has “More Effective” Method to Get Intel from Terrorists – What Is It?" challenges the President to disclose what he would have used in place of waterboarding saying: "if in fact, these methods exist, they have never been revealed. President Obama needs to share this discovery with the American people, or, if they must be state secrets, with a select few individuals from Congress and the intelligence community."
Prager concludes his article on a skeptical note questioning the president's veracity that these alternate methods even exist saying: "I, for one, pray those methods exist. But I don't believe they do or that the President has a clue what they are."
But the President wasn't lying. Such a method does exist. It's been staring everyone in the face and it surprises me that the perceptive Dennis Praeger hasn't seen it. For Obama has in fact revealed this secret, revealed it to us many times and on many occasions, but without specifying its use for interrogating terrorists. It's the secret that got him elected president and turned him into the most powerful man on earth; the secret behind his unprecedented success; the secret of "OBAMANOSIS."
Postscript
Subjecting captured terrorists to the punishment of a Robert Gibbs news conference could be another one of Obama's secret methods (see THE REAL TORTURE MOMENT ).
