We should praise the Obama administration, the CIA and especially our armed forces for the operation that killed Osama bin Laden. But we should not forget what made the operation possible: President Bush's counterterrorism policies.

How important were CIA interrogations in the killing of bin Laden? In light of recent events, should the Obama administration continue its current policy of killing rather than capturing and interrogating terrorists?

A federal court ruling has vindicated the Obama Justice Department's claim that the CIA interrogation program is effective in producing actionable intelligence about al-Qaeda plots that cannot be obtained in any other way.

If the CIA “deniers” won’t accept the word of the former vice president, and the four CIA directors who have testified that CIA interrogations produced invaluable intelligence, perhaps they will believe WikiLeaks.

The Founders created an executive with substantial discretionary powers.

The war against terrorism, like civilian law enforcement, is filled with no-win choices.

The Aspen Institute will host AEI scholars Scott Gottlieb, M.D., Charles Murray, Marc A. Thiessen, and Peter J. Wallison for a series of policy talks on health care reform, class in America, the global war on terror, and the US housing market.
