Among the 250+ people rallying against socialism and anti-American values at the intersection of Highways K and N in O’Fallon, Mo., early Saturday afternoon, one man carried a sign unlike all the others. It’s message: “CIA AGENTS DESERVE GRATITUDE, NOT PROSECUTION.”

In the video, “Remember Who the Enemy Is”, the man carrying the sign (”Jim”) explains who the enemy is, who it isn’t and who President Barack Obama should listen to for advice on defeating that enemy in Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world.
OBAMA GOES AFTER CIA TO GAIN COVER ON THE LEFT

After vowing not to become involved in recriminations over the Bush anti-terror policies, President Obama has allowed his Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to dig up all the dirt he can find on the CIA and the anti-terror investigators whose aggressive questioning saved us from countless attacks.
Why the switch? Because Obama needs to do something to appease the left that elected him. After refusing to pull out of Iraq and deciding to follow the Bush timetable for withdrawing and staying in Afghanistan and likely having to beef up our presence there, liberals might be wondering why they elected Obama. After all, his opposition to the war in Iraq and his criticism of the Bush anti-terror policies were the hallmarks of his campaign in 2008.
And, on the domestic front, Obama likely realizes that he may have to pull in his horns on health care and accept some sort of compromise which may not endear him to his constituency.
So he has decided to throw a few CIA interrogators to the wolves.
The report that Holder released to accompany his decision to name a special prosecutor itself showed the trivial nature of the charges against these patriotic anti-terror investigators. Among the allegations prominently featured in the report is that the mastermind of the attack on the USS Cole was scrubbed with a rough brush in the bath so as to cause him pain. Our heartless interrogators also threatened that they could bring in his family and parents for questioning. How do these “tortures” compare with the deaths of more than a dozen American sailors roasted to death in flames or drowned in the sea?
The CIA report, also released on Monday, demonstrates, within the limits that secrecy allows, how these very interrogations thwarted serious terrorist plots against our country.
Would the public agree that if we had bin Laden in custody that it would be wrong to scrub him with a harsh brush? Or to threaten to involve his family? Or to press his carotid artery until he was on the verge of passing out? If such techniques could have averted the deaths of 3,000 Americans on 9-11, would we not all have sanctioned them?
But Obama needs political cover so he is creating a three ring circus for the media by naming a special prosecutor to conduct a likely leaky investigation designed to throw dirt at the CIA. The exposures he is likely to make will dominate the headlines even as Obama disingenuously retreats from his campaign commitments on Iraq and on foreign policy in general. And, the investigation may even make enough noise to permit a retreat on health care. We hope so.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY
CIA might be sought as a dark hero which has fought beisde the troops on war of terror, and often not praised by the people for its efforts going after the enemies of America. It’s a sad story.

This is one of those situations for moral relativism. CIA agents ARE the enemy ... if you support anti-American terrorists. CIA agents are thus the enemy if you are Osama, Obama, Pelosi, or Code Pink.
Bob, when you are the author, and you own the website, posting excerpts looks like “trolling for hits”.
The CIA’s ‘careers’ webpage features an introductory movie to the agency. It contains NO WHITE MALES AT ALL.
There is a woman, woman, black male, asian man, black woman, ME woman, and woman.
‘SNAKE’ is clearly not desired or qualified.
