The U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder defended yesterday without doubt the legitimacy of the U.S. military operation in Pakistan which resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden. The actions were "legal, legitimate and appropriate in every way. The people responsible for the operation, the decision to carry out as run, performed well," he said Holder before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives.
Holder said in his testimony that the information which led the hunt, capture and death of Bin Laden came from a mosaic of different sources. To the question of whether techniques such as waterboarding or simulated drowning had made possible the folding of the leader of Al Qaeda, Holder responded: "I do not know." The prosecutor and settled a controversy that arose after former Vice President Dick Cey ensure that the military operation put on a plate to say that the controversial interrogation program "a euphemism for torture, the CIA has paid off.
However, the White House has been very careful to avoid any relationship between the success of the operation and extreme techniques applied in the Agency's secret interrogation between 2002 and 2003, and used at Guantanamo. To another question, if it had been better captured alive and bring Bin Laden to trial Holder was very clear: Osama bin Laden to justice has been done.
Holder, who for years opposed the military commissions at Guantanamo and assumed the duty to close the prison by order of Barack Obama, changed course last month. Unable to close the prison, announced that these same committees will resume with the trial of the alleged ideologue of the 11-S attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
The information released by the White House indicate that the CIA could have gotten Bin Laden's whereabouts through an interrogation of the suspected terrorist, captured in 2003 in Pakistan. Holder refused to leave the Capitol without ensuring that "the use of all available resources and appropriate tools, including our federal judicial system" will allow us to be vigilant of the international and domestic threats.
" Several members of the previous administration on Monday rushed to praise Obama and claiming, in a more or less evident, antiterrorist policies of George W. Bush. Cey left no room for ambiguity, claimed the past, but also hedge its bets. "I have enough information to speak with authority on this subject but I understand that the special interrogation program we produced some of the results that led to the capture of bin Laden's legitimate," Cey said in an interview on Fox News.
"We need these policies remain intact in order to have a final success in this field."
