Obama and bin Laden

With Obama claiming that Romney wouldn't have made the call to take out bin Laden, there is a very useful piece in the Washington Post.  The whole piece is interesting, but this is important to remember:

With some trying to turn bin Laden’s death into a campaign talking point for Obama’s reelection, it is useful to remember that the trail to bin Laden started in a CIA black site — all of which Obama ordered closed, forever, on the second full day of his administration — and stemmed from information obtained from hardened terrorists who agreed to tell us some (but not all) of what they knew after undergoing harsh but legal interrogation methods. Obama banned those methods on Jan. 22, 2009. . . .
