NBC Nightly News: Interview with CIA Chief Leon Panetta
CIA chief: Waterboarding aided bin Laden raid
Intelligence garnered from waterboarded detainees was used to track down al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and kill him, CIA Chief Leon Panetta told NBC News on Tuesday.
"Enhanced interrogation techniques" were used to extract information that led to the mission's success, Panetta said during an interview with anchor Brian Williams. Those techniques included waterboarding, he acknowledged.
Piers Morgan Tonight: Rep. Peter King discusses the raid on bin Laden and the role interrogation techniques played in aiding the mission.
