From the Senate floor, today

[gotsnowgotslush]

The full report on torture used during G.W. Bush's stint in the White House, is released.

Who is telling lies, whining, and seeking excuses ?

One of the excuses given, was extremely chilling.

Could they hear the words that emerged from their own clenched faces ?

I hope the fact that they killed people using these tactics, is exposed.

(It is too much, to expect a sense of shame from the creatures who had none.)

What's in the report?

The report is expected to conclude that the CIA repeatedly tortured around 20 detainees after 9/11, including three by the simulated drowning tactic known as waterboarding. It is also expected to accuse the CIA of repeatedly lying to Congress, the White House and the public.

The CIA lies?!?!?

 

[oggbashan]

The CIA lies?!?!?

I thought that was what they were paid to do...

Like the Elizabeth 1st era definition of an ambassador:

"A man sent to lie abroad for his country."

Better late than never. Iraq was swept under the rug after Dubya departed because Obama actually thought a "bygones" policy would help him get bipartisan cooperation. What he got in exchange was 578 Benghazi investigations.

Shine the light, and watch the rats scurry.

Under Bush, the CIA roughed up three terrorists = OMG! OUTRAGE. Under Obama, the IRS targeted and harassed citizens = YAWN.

This is a Democrat Report from the Democrat leadership in the Senate. This is the left's last chance in the Senate to bash Bush and the United States. The last chance for Feinstein to lie to the American people, and attempt to claim that she didn't know what was going on at the CIA. The last chance for her to emasculate our intelligence service. No foreign nation or intelligence service will ever work with or trust the United States again. Oh, and the release timing is probably designed to move the Gruber testimony today off the headlines.

Shorter Vettebigot: Yay Torture!

Someone was paying attention, when Tricky Dick's conversations were exposed.

Exactly... which is a bigger deal? Iraq, or Benghazi? Any way you slice it, this is a lie of horrific magnitudes, but the wingnuts don't want to deal with it, so they deflect, duck, and run for cover.

#DoubleDOH!

In September 2002, ranking members of the intelligence committees were briefed on the use of waterboarding and other techniques, which prompted either silent acquiescence or hints from some members that more aggressive measures were needed. As longtime CIA watcher Steve Coll observed, “Agency officials briefed Nancy Pelosi in September, 2002, about waterboarding that was then underway, notes of that meeting show, but Pelosi later claimed that she had heard no such thing. Other senior Democrats who were briefed about brutal C.I.A. interrogations . . . have suffered from similar impairments.” Officials in the room that day attest to Congresswoman Pelosi’s involvement, and President Obama’s CIA Director Leon Panetta later confirmed her participation. Nonetheless, the former Speaker of the House claims, “We were not, I repeat, not, told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used.”

Pelosi’s assent to waterboarding was perfectly defensible, for as former CIA Director George Tenet noted, his agency was receiving “reports of nuclear weapons in New York City, apartment buildings that are going to be blown up. . . . Everybody forgets one central context of what we lived through—the palpable fear that we felt . . . that there was so much that we did not know.” Echoing this theme, Senator Dianne Feinstein seemed to defend the use of extraordinary measures:


I think it’s a tempest in a teapot really to say: Well, Speaker Pelosi should have known all of this, she should have stopped this, she should have done this or done that. I don’t want to make an apology for anybody, but in 2002, it wasn’t 2006, 07, 08 or 09. It was right after 9/11, and there were in fact discussions about a second wave of attacks.

In 2011, when the danger appeared to have passed, Feinstein was suddenly aghast at the use of these measures, “I happen to know a good deal about how those interrogations were conducted, and in my view nothing justifies the kind of procedures that were used.”

Tune into Hannity tonight and listen to the person who knows the truth, Jose A. Rodriguez, Jr. Director of the National Clandestine Service (D/NCS) of the United States Central Intelligence Agency. He will refute much of the report.
