You have a good point, I find it interesting that these two men are giving conflicting information that does not support there positions, I respect honesty over agenda.
There is no conflicting information between Panetta and Rummy. You just totally misconstrued something Rummy said, and he has clarified it.
Rummy said that info on OBL wasn't obtained through waterboarding KSM at Gitmo.... THAT'S ALL YOU HEARD.... but he completed the thought... Because we never waterboarded KSM at Gitmo, we never waterboarded ANYONE at Gitmo! He did an extensive interview with Hannity last night, where he clarified this, and reiterated that he never said what you claim he said, in contradiction to Panetta. He went on to say it's just "factually inaccurate" to say the enhanced interrogation of KSM played no role in leading to the information which ultimately gave us OBL.
If you support honesty over agenda, then you should admit you are wrong on this, and accept that fact that Bush's interrogation policies are responsible for leading us to OBL. That's not hard to do, you have the CIA Director and the former Defense Secretary both telling you that is the case.
