Faux Fox News is eating crow today, after a spelling mishap somehow confused the dead terrorist with the President of the United States.

He identified them many months later under standard interrogation, they said, leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic.… Read more »
