CIA Releases Documents Fmr. Vice President Cheney Requested Be Made Public (VP Cheney was right)

The CIA released the documents today that former Vice President Dick Cheney requested earlier this year in an attempt to prove his assertion that using enhanced interrogation techniques on terror detainees saved U.S. lives.

The documents back up the Bush administration's claims that intelligence gleaned from captured terror suspects had thwarted terrorist attacks, but the visible portions of the heavily redacted reports do not indicate whether such information was obtained as a result of controversial interrogation techniques, such as waterboarding.

Cheney's initial request in the spring that the documents be declassified was rejected by the CIA. Lawmakers derided his claims that the harsh interrogation techniques were necessary. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a May 27 speech that "those classified documents say nothing about numbers of lives saved, nor do the documents connect acquisition of valuable intelligence to the use of abusive techniques."

The Fight Is On!

I smell EPIC loss 0...

[DainBramage]

If they think the CIA will sit by and let them crap on them they have another thing coming.

[tobyhill]

This is really a fight that Obama really doesn't want but he's desperate.

I’m Lovin’ It! (R)

[therut]

But BIG ED Schultz on MSNBC said today “they “ had bebunked that any of this stopped any terrorist attacks. He said it as FACT. Of coarse it was a BIG ED LIE!!!!!

[jveritas]

I am totally certain that the captured terrorists did not volunteer the information by offering them steak and ice cream. They spoke because they were forced to speak, force is the only language these evil subhumans understand.

[bgill]

Watch the other hand. This is merely the latest installment of “trick of the week.”

[AmericanInTokyo]

Looks like Senator Obama is going to get into a confrontation with the Central Intelligence Agency.

Talk about pissing in the wind. Can you believe he is "going there?"

What a moron. What an amateur.

[Right Brother]

but the visible portions of the heavily redacted reports do not indicate whether such information was obtained as a result of controversial interrogation techniques, such as waterboarding.

Yeah, I guess it must have been the cookies and milk that turned them.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

In the distance, if you listen very closely, you can hear Rahm Emmanuel crapping all over himself.

[popdonnelly]

The Left isn’t concerned about protecting U.S. citizens. They simply want to ruin Bush and Cheney. They act like relentlessly angry and vindictive people.

[popdonnelly]

Schulz and his lousy network have got to go. They routinely lie and mislead the public.

[1066AD]

I bet there will be some juicy leaks before long !

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the..............................HA ha!!!

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

NO WAY does this help Zero. NO WAY!!!

If this is strategery, it is as brilliant a plan as Wyle E. Coyote would come up with.

[taildragger]

Hmm....

Holder decides to go after the Puzzle Palace today and they effectively tell him up yours...

Man where in Foggy Bottom do we buy these guys a Martini or an Ice Cold Beer!!!!

[McGruff]

You sure you want go down this road son?

[icwhatudo]

Nice timing!

POPCORN TIME!!!!!

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

It would appear the Chicago Thug tried to throw the wrong person under the bus...Leon Panetta.

Nazi Pelousy tried it. Panetta bit back. I think Obama reeeallly screwd himself this time. NO WAY do I think this is a smokescren. I think it was SUPPOSED to be one, but it turned into a landmine.

The next few days will tell for sure.

[RummyChick]

Does Panetta have access to every single classified file no matter hold old?

He will know whether Obama is a US citizen..and then so will Hillary?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Well, it won't be long now before we start to see circulated copies of the illusive Barack Obama Passport with visa entry stamps from visits to various countries. lol

[RecallMoran]

Obama wanted to detract attention from his falling poll numbers and wanted to reinvigorate his base through Bush/Cheney bashing. Leon Panetta was pissed and HERE WE GO! We still need first of all to appreciate the Dark Lord, Darth Cheney.

[avital2]

i hope self-respecting CIA-types let loose some leaks that sink the “good” ship Obama (sarcasm) pronto. yes!

[GodGunsGuts]

LOL!

[icwhatudo]

Interesting “timing” like this is always dismissed by some but cmon-its the CIA for goodness sake!-LOL You KNOW they are gonna fight back.

[RecallMoran]

The administrative CIA still tends left. They still, however, do not like to be shat upon.

[God luvs America]

chairman zero is turning into a bigger moron than I originally thought he was...and I thought that would be impossible as I realized what an effin bafoon this guy was a year ago...

[bitt]

maybe that’s why he suddenly approved the special teams under HIS command (snort) to do high level interrogations...Obama hasn’t screwed the FBI yet, so he is joined up with them.

[tobyhill]

There's a huge battle brewing within the CIA itself between the pencil pushing Plame types and the field agents.

[Phlap]

I no longer rest easy that there are rough men ready to do violence on our behalf at the lead. Eric and Barry are pantie waste. George and Dick had a pair.

[bergmeid]

I absolutely love that photo. Thanks for posting.

[oneolcop]

Ironic, isn’t it that the CIA is chock full of democRats.

[RecallMoran]

Intelligence gleaned from interrogations stopped further attacks but Obama wants them to stop and to let the terrorists go? Interesting...Remind me, what country is he the president of?

[bitt]

#21 - photoshop time

[Ramius]

I no longer rest easy that there are rough men ready to do violence on our behalf at the lead. Eric and Barry are pantie waste. George and Dick had a pair.

Roger that. But not everyone, it seems, is going to disappear quietly into the night. Stay tuned. :-)

[Vasilli22]

Smells like a Rovian plot to me...

[LUV W]

BUSH/CHENEY were right! of course!

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

I’ve heard such agencies described as “technocrats.” No matter what party is in power, they stay in place.

[ChicagoConservative27]

Obozo ping.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Why does that photo always remind me of Father Merrin confronting you know who?

[oneolcop]

I’m sure they are, but most of ‘em vote democRat. Slippery little devils...

[AmericanInTokyo]

I dont suggest that, but i am sure some very embarrassing materials, cables, documents, etc. that that Obama-ites thought were long since covered up, will be getting a well need airing in the light of public opinion. And it doesnt come a minute too soon.

[A.Hun]

Wow! I can’t believe the CIA released this, or that ABC wrote this article about it!!!

This supports everything Cheney has said, and makes the Democrats look like the fools they are!

Let’s see how Nazi Pelosi spins this one.....
