Because they are whiny babies that have to prove how tough and macho they are, Republicans have been going all over the airwaves trying to give President Bush credit for the killing of Bin Laden. It's preposterous for them to think a liberal tree hugging socialist like Obama could out do them. So they've invented this talking point that Bush's state-sanctioned torture program led to the killing of Osama bin Laden. This is, amongst other things, absurd.
I'm going to be loosely posting some of the push back against such Republican delusion as I come across it. It's important to remind people Bin Laden could have been killed years ago had George Bush not turned our attention away from him and Afghanistan and toward a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. Now that a new president has accomplished exactly what he said he would do, revisionist history trying to falsely credit the people who gave us nothing but endless war and huge budget deficits must be shot down. I'll post links below so people can come and grab them to counter the totally baseless GOP media apparatus.
White House deputy national security advisor John Brennan flatly denies Bush's torture program played any role.
Senate Intelligence Committee chair says info didn't come from torture
Associated Press specifically states Bush's state-sanctioned torture policy did not give the name of the courier.
I'll post more whenever I find them. You can do the same in comments to make sure the list continues.
*Update:
Another of the AP report this time on ABC News.
