EARNEST: The president's view is wherever you come down on this equation of yes, it yielded information that was helpful, yes it yielded information that was crucial, or no it didn't yield any helpful information. The president believes regardless of what the answer to that question is, that the use of these techniques was not worth it because of the harm that was done to our national values and the sense of what we believe in as Americans.

No, that is OBAMA's view.
What Frickin’ Damage?!?!
The only real damage done to the U.S. by enhanced interrogations was done by people like Earnest after the fact.
What damage? I’d like to here a concrete example.
If you want to talk damage to the U.S.A, you must use the ultimate reference: Dorkbama, Pricklosi, Whorehouse Harry, etc. etc.
Until then, STFU.
Considering he hates everything most Americans believe in, why is this believable /half sarc
Go take a whiz on an electric fence, Earnest.
What Frickin’ Damage?!?!

Doesn’t matter. Obammie apologizes for it.
This ass-clown started out his (p)residency in 2009 by going on a world wide apology tour.
Apologizing for the greatness that is America - its what this blow-hole does.
The Unimportance of Being Earnest
The mistake was leaving witnesses.
It’s truly amazing to me how this vile administration can come up with a new reason to hate them nearly every day.
Absolutely the worst collection of evil scum to ever inhabit the WH.
Something tells me this guy Earnest is not going to be able to stomach the obvious lying and phony behavior that is part and parcel of his job. Maybe a year from now, he may have a ‘family situation’ that forces him to vacate the position of First Lier of the administration. Don’t even ask Carney to come back. He couldn’t wait to rip that mask off.
I’m good with all these techniques. 0bama’s a wuss!
Tell it to the families of the 9/11 dead.
I think I figured out the damage Earnest is talking about.
It was the way Obama effed up the whole capture, killing, burial at sea, no pictures, take my word for it - this is what happened story. That kept changing hourly as new facts were unconvered.
The death of OBL should have been a great day for freedom and happiness in the USA. But Bungling Barry even deprived that joy from us as he staged the entire capture as a publicity stunt to divert attention from his plummeting ratings.
FUBO.
Excerpt from “Listen to Reason: The Bill of Rights Is a Package Deal” http://www.inrich.com/cva/ric/opinion/oped.PrintView.-content-articles-RTD-2007-11-27-0001.html
Liberal sympathizers are unsympathetic to the argument from the Bush administration that a post-9/11 world requires expanded executive authority to suspend habeas corpus and detain individuals indefinitely, or to eavesdrop on Americans’ phone conversations, or to torture terrorist suspects. In those instances the Bush administration says the need to protect Americans from wanton violence justifies infringing on American liberties. But liberals are quite adamant that saving lives is not a sufficient rationale for abandoning principles.
Yet when the subject turns to the right of American citizens to own guns, many liberals suddenly find that the goal of saving lives justifies just that.
Liberals believe in the fairy tale that before 911 all nations thought of us with warm feelings and enhanced interrogation changed all that.
I’m not unsympathetic to the idea that we should never torture because it’s wrong.
However, those who try to claim that it doesn’t work are just idiots. It’s worked for thousands of years.
If you decide to give up aggressive interrogation, just be aware that eventually an innocent, or possibly millions of innocents, will pay the price for your moral purity.
NO.
Since I doubt that Barack Hussein Obama and I share a single value, nor have the same notion whatsoever of who, or what, as Americans, we are. . .
I am SO immune to his Bullshit!*
