The fact that this intel was gained through waterboarding has not been denied by the Obama administration. In fact, they have repeatedly stated that this intel was gained in a variety of ways (or a mosaic) from many sources over a long period of time. If waterboarding was not useful, don't you think that they would have been the first to come out and state that unequivocally? Why haven't they? Because it was useful and the whole reason this line of intel was started.
