Waterboarding Promotion, Bill O'Reilly, and the Underwear Bomber

The media is reportedly seeing a resurgence in the promotion of waterboarding as an effective interrogation tool following the attempted bombing by a Nigerian national. Bill O'Reilly is highlighted for advocating "coerced interrogation" and criticizing the decision to try terrorists in civilian courts. The hosts question the narrative surrounding the 23-year-old suspect, noting his lack of typical extremist characteristics and the suspicious nature of his alleged training in Yemen.
