It's not the same thing. For one thing the ones that went into Pakistan were taking on far more risk than the ones doing the torture. You don't have to worry about an already captured and detained captive blowing you up. The team that got Osama really did have to worry about that stuff.



If only given the option of being waterboarded or shot int he face which would you choose?
