John Yoo: Obama Afraid To Capture Bin Laden (VIDEO)

Evan McMorris-Santoro

John Yoo says President Obama is too afraid of the politics of Guantanamo Bay to capture and interrogate terrorists.

The former Gorge W. Bush administration lawyer, Yoo wrote the infamous torture memos used to justify the "enhanced interrogation techniques" that were a central legacy of Bush's Global War On Terror. He now says that the killing of Osama bin Laden will go down in history as one of President Obama's biggest national security fails.

Yoo told CNN on Thursday night that the special forces team sent to kill bin Laden should have instead taken him alive and kept him as a source of future intelligence. Failing to do that, Yoo says, cost the U.S. a valuable asset. That was a mistake, Yoo says.

"If they were going in with no options other than to kill him, then that's a problem," Yoo told CNN's Eliot Spitzer.

Clearly, if bin Laden had been captured, he would have revealed crucial information on his own whereabouts. LOL!

Yoo's got torture on his mind!
