Likely they were celebrating the death of the one who killed their siblings, parents and or grandparents, as he took their land.
It IS sad that Castro still lives. I agree.

Hello,
You don't understand. I'm not sure you can understand.

Wow.
Factual inaccuracies in what you say aside - good thing for you America didn't take that attitude with Hitler.

Already rewriting history, I see. Bravo.
Don't forget - Bush was the one who didn't care, and Obama said, back in those "rocky start" days - that he would do exactly what just happened.
It's cute to see you rabid right wingers show your true colors.

Some how 'I told you so', just doesn't say it...
WILLIAMS: I’d like to ask you about the sourcing on the intel that ultimately led to this successful attack. Can you confirm that it was as a result of waterboarding that we learned what we needed to learn to go after Bin Laden?
PANETTA: You know, Brian, in the intelligence business you work from a lot of sources of information, and that was true here. We had a multiple series of sources that provided information with regards to this situation. Clearly, some of it came from detainees and the interrogation of detainees, but we also had information from other sources as well. So it’s a little difficult to say it was due just to one source of information that we got.

I'd reply the same, since the White House has denied this. Rumsfeld, too.
But I know you ignore facts that don't fit your narrative, so "clearly" that would fly over your head.

Not that it will mean anything to you, Raptor, but Quote:
doesn’t mean they “got” bin Laden because of waterboarding. First off, he said clearly several times that they had multiple sources. Secondly, from what I’ve heard/read, what they got was that bin Laden had a favorite courier; the name wasn’t given, so it was just one coin dropping. Third, I believe it’s been said before that they only got valid information AFTER the torture stopped, so there’s no way of knowing that waterboarding brought about ANYTHING. Most important of all, in response to the question nowhere did Panetta say waterboarding brought anything, just that some info came from interrogation of detainees. Your point isn’t even slightly made. Weak try at “proving” waterboarding worked, led to the killing of bin Laden, or brought about ANY useful information.
