John McCain: Zero Dark Thirty Wrong To Say Torture Led To Capture Of Bin Laden

Posted by | December 20, 2012 00:10 | Filed under: Top Stories


Senator John McCain made the case that torture did not lead to information about bin Laden, and even if it did, it is a wrong tactic for the United States.

McCain explained that he watched the film, and it depicts very graphic torture scenes and waterboarding carried out by CIA interrogators, and the implication of the film is that torture was a “major factor” in receiving critical intelligence that led to the raid on bin Laden’s compound. He stated plainly that no important information related to bin Laden was a result of torture, and suggested the filmmakers received “bad information” in researching the film…

McCain made it clear that even if any important information was obtained as a result of torture, the fact that the United States is torturing people “harms the image of the United States.”
