Do you see the equivalence? Orange, in both examples; ipso fatso, we’re comparing oranges to oranges.Posted on 12/10/2014 7:07:22 AM PST by NOBO2012
The Senate Intelligence Committee’s $40 million investigation of the CIA (that involved no CIA directors or interrogators) culminated yesterday in the release of a 545 page executive summary (the complete report is 6000+pages so you can’t expect anyone to read that).
I can summarize it for you in far fewer words: America conducted what Diane Feinstein considers illegal torture techniques such as waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and death threats against Taliban operatives captured following that World Trade center “incident” that led to our National Day of Remembrance Service. That makes us as bad as they are. Somehow.
Do you see the equivalence? Orange, in both examples; ipso fatso, we’re comparing oranges to oranges.
In a speech in the Senate, moments after the report was released Tuesday morning, Ms. Feinstein described the tumultuous history of her investigation and called the C.I.A. interrogation program “a stain on our values and our history.”
Oh no! Not a stain on our collective milk bottle! Sister Mary Katherine will be very upset with us.
In the world of morally equivalency, that’s about as bad as it gets. So what punishment for our horrendous crimes will be meted out?
The White House today deflected any questions about who, if anyone, should be held accountable, saying those decisions are up to the Department of Justice.
As a senior administration official explained, “It's not our place to insert ourselves in that process.” (ed. Unlike incidents where cops act stupidly, in which case it is our place)
Butt apparently the DOJ has already reviewed and decided not to prosecute:
The Justice Department has already conducted a three-year review of the interrogation program and decided not to bring any criminal charges.
In August 2012, Attorney General Eric Holder explained in part that “the department has declined prosecution because the admissible evidence would not be sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.”
President Obama, who banned torture shortly after taking office, has pledged not to prosecute those who carried out the enhanced interrogation techniques, saying “nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past.”
Butt I get it, they put panties on their heads!
That’s so gay!
So why, after $40 million and 6000 pages will there be no charges brought, no prosecution pursued, no accountability extracted for all this moral outrage? Oh wait, because…
“What difference at this point does it make!”
So now that we’ve smeared the CIA, endangered American personnel at home and abroad, let’s just put that evil genie back in the bottle and work on polishing up our image.
Can I get a cleanup on aisle 1! How much will that cost, do you suppose?

Democrats are less than worthless.
Democrats are less than worthless.
“less than worthless” means DETRIMENT.
They are purposefully opposed to America.
Wouldn’t it be something if nothing really happens with this report being issued ... Most of the world knows and expects that we have done it.. because so much of the rest of the world does it. Maybe the sudden release of it on National Gruber day will have little effect. Typically when they have gotten world riots out of this kinda thing its because they beat the drum about it for two years trying to use it as a campaign strategy against Republicans. Maybe no one will take the bait?
This smells like someone got to Feinstein and made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. It is out of her previous character display. JMJHO!
Democrats have proven themselves to be liars and hypocrites over and over again. I don’t care what they say IT IS A LIE. Especially when they massage a report for over year to come up with essentially nothing. Deprived of sleep too bad, doctors work 30 hour shifts. Waterboarding, our own soldiers under go that in training, etc., etc. The pure crap that emanates from the democrat party should disgust every so-called liberal.
I wish we could have longer taglines...
This story has no legs - Americans don’ get riled up how we get information from terrorists who strike America. Americans want to win wars even if the Dems don’t.
This was a political document dump by a party who lost big i the last election and are pissy becuase Americans voted against their big government beliefs that have crippled our economy and our Freedoms.
The War Profitier Feinstein is most likely putting pressure on the CIA to leave her military contract business connections alone.
Dianne Feinstein: Gun Grabber, Insider Trader, War Profiteer, Chinese Company Invested Traitor

(Before It’s News)
from Indy Bay:
Time for the 79 year old insider trader, China connected traitor, hawkish Dianne Feinstein who funneled over 1 billion in military contracts illegally to her husband Richard Blum to resign.
She and her husband with Barbara Boxer’s help sold San Diego ports to Cosco. Her husband was part of the pressure network which caused police to bust up Occupy in Oakland and San Francisco. Many of the older links in this article were compiled by Forest Glen Durland.
The record of insider trader war profiteer and hawkish traitor Dianne Feinstein.
Dianne Feinstein has funneled over 1 billion in contracts to her husband Richard Blum’s URS… just one of his companies to which she has funneled money stolen from the people of America. She has also with our money helped him profiteer from bankster foreclosures.
