Even our own citizens can be detained and tortured without trial. What difference did it make killing Bin Laden and Hussein if nothing has changed? You can read much more about living in this Orwellian society of fear and see my visual response to these measures on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/09/living-in-society-of-fear-ten-years.html

In an interview aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Panetta said he believes Bin Laden would have been discovered even without those tactics.

“First of all, it's a movie,” Panetta said. “Let's remember that. I lived the real story.”

“And the real story is that in order to put the puzzle of intelligence together that led us to  Bin Laden, there was a lot of intelligence,” he added. “There were a lot of pieces out there that were part of that puzzle. Yes, some of it came from some of the tactics that were used at that time, interrogation tactics that were used. But the fact is we put together most of that intelligence without having to resort to that.”

“And you think you could have gotten it without any?” NBC’s Chuck Todd asked.

“I think we could have gotten Bin Laden without that,” Panetta replied.
