Admiral Dennis Blair, the top intelligence official in the United States, thanks to his nomination by Barack Obama, believes that the coercive interrogation methods outlawed by his boss produced “high-value information” and gave the U.S. government a “deeper understanding of the al Qaeda organization that was attacking this country.” He included those assessments in a [...]

The WaPo’s Charles Krauthammer comments on President Obama’s appearance on al-Arabiya TV: Every new president flatters himself that he, kinder and gentler, is beginning the world anew.
