The Right Word: Fox News's black-and-white view of Pakistan

Concerns are growing on Fox News that despite having managed to eliminate Osama bin Laden, the Obama administration's soft approach to terrorism is endangering America's future.

Sean Hannity is convinced that unless the current president changes course and embraces the harsh interrogation tactics employed by the Bush administration, we will be unable to gather the information we need to capture or kill future terrorists or prevent any future attacks (view clip). He does not understand the Obama administration's official position that torture goes against America's core values and he thinks it's hypocritical of the administration to say it's OK to put a bullet in the head of one enemy combatant (Osama bin Laden's) but refuse to waterboard another equally dangerous enemy combatant (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed). He discusses this conundrum with regular guest, and fellow waterboarding enthusiast, Dick Morris.

I thought Chris Wallace had an excellent question this weekend on Fox News Sunday. He was talking to the White House national security adviser and he said why is it contrary to American values to use, you know, enhanced interrogation techniques against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, but killing an unarmed bin Laden is justified. That's a great question.
