new pictures from inside the bin laden compound. but not the picture of a dead osama. >> thats not who we are. >> were not interested in doing that. and were also, as americans, not interested, as the president said in trotting around photographs as trophies. >> republicans keep saying torture led us to bin laden. tonight, a former cia interrogator dispels the myths. and tomorrow the president will pay his respects to the families of the fallen. and some on the right are outraged. >>...

Who do we believe? >> ed, if water boarding that happened seven to eight years ago just now led us to bin laden and thats the mesh of success, we are in a lot of trouble. its not an e vektive technique. compare it to, you know, my team in iraq, i went out on raids. our time requirement was ten to 15 minutes to get info. back at a prison, our standard was two to three days to get info to act on. maybe a couple weeks or a few weeks in other cases. eight or nine years to get information and conside...

>> the obama administration is concerned about the reaction if the photo of osama bin laden is released. how do you feel about it? >> thanks for having me on, ed. its a tight rope. its a fine line. there are a lot of people in the arab and muslim world. people have doubts about whether or not hes captured and killed. maybe its not true and he is among them. theres an immediate need for proof, at the same time, it needs to be done with a level of humanity, right? so in the same way pictures were ...

the begin og-a draw down remains very much in place. >> what is our real security challenge? >> the focus of that operation of the -- of the u.s. personnel in afghanistan is on al qaeda. >> you cannot wait us out. you cannot defeat us. >> what to release. >> the photos, the videos whatever else. >> i think there is any doubt that we killed osama bin laden. >> some say the death of bin laden proves torture works. >> using those techniques save lives. >> enhanced interrogation obviously ...

great to have you with us here tonight on "the ed show." this is the story that has me fired up first. republicans are desperately trying to steal the spotlight from obama over the termination of osama bin laden. conservatives are scrambling to put national security back on the table. they are lining up to credit bushs torture policies for the information that led to the death of bin laden. >> we dont find this guy until 2007. we got it through enhanced interrogations then they found t...

Of their training on how to engage someone who is threatening them and take it out or protect someone that is not a threat. >> you told me today youve been tracking bin laden for 14 years following every move he has made. how gutsy of a decision was this for the president to send the s.e.a.l.s in and not bomb the target? >> this was a very difficult decision, ed, and a very important one. ive been involved in special operations in counterterrorism for 30 years, for bin laden for 14 years. helico...

Attacks of september 11. >> so i dont know where he is. you know, i just dont spend that much time on him to be honest with you. im more worried about making sure that our soldiers are well supplied, that the strategy is clear, that the coalition is strong. >> lets bring in professor of sociology at georgetown university, michael eric dyson and the former chief of staff for secretary of state colin powell colonel lawrence wilkerson. gentlemen, great to have you with us tonight. >> thank you. >> ...

Have some recalibrating to do. which means you should watch ed schultz tonight. he is up next. after receiving the news about bin laden last night, a joy us crowd smooshed into the white house gates. part after that smoosh was me and my camera with what was maybe a frostry fingerprint on the lens. for that i too blame paul. thats next. long before a cummins diesel engine powered a ram truck.. it roared to life out here. and proved itself here, here, and here. and its now delivering best-in-class...

Like this one. this was uniquely gutsy call by the president. i can tell you ive seen operations like this passed on in previous administrations. back a couple actually. >> what do you think that helicopter ride was like leaving that compound when those american s.e.a.l.s knew they had done the job? >> they were absolutely pumped up, ed. i can assure you. but these are hard and professional -- these guys have been at this for years now. theyre veterans of many operations. but even this one they ...
