Whether it's 3 waterboardings by Pakistani or Afghan or other misc men in black or 60-80...does it matter? He flat out admitted it in the hearings. I wish I had the link, but he was asked very specifically, and answered (to his credit/I was impressed) and very sincerely that at was 60-80 renditions during his watch (which recall was only PART of the Clinton years), and that many of those were to countries that torture. He also made it clear that he was intimately involved in arranging it (which surprised me, but again impressed me with his sincerity). Panetta coulda played the spin game. He didn't. I give the man credit for that. Obama...well, he DID play the spin game, and so he loses points w me for misleading people (again).
