War On Terror: Democrats were howling last week at the news that the CIA destroyed tapes of tough terrorist interrogations. Once again, they prove they view President Bush as the enemy, not the Islamofascists.
They were falling all over themselves to make analogies to Watergate and otherwise signal that this just might be the scandal for which they've been waiting.
"We haven't seen anything like this since the 18-minute gap on the tapes of Richard Nixon," thundered Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., from the Senate floor on Friday.
Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin, D-Ill., who once compared U.S. personnel who pry information from terrorists to the Nazis, has asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey for a probe into whether the destruction of the tapes broke the law.
Jane Harman, D-Calif., chairman of the House homeland security intelligence subcommittee, demanded declassification of a February 2003 letter she wrote to the CIA's general counsel after receiving what she called "a highly classified briefing" on the agency's interview practices. The letter "was never responded to and has been in the CIA's files ever since," she complained.

It's too great for those morons to destroy. They're like gnats bouncing off the hull of a battleship.
"18 minute gap..." as if such things can stand the harsh light of reality.
Kennedy better hurry if he plans on completing his destrucition of the USA, He is beginnig to wobble walking
The RATS are the biggest traitors to this country.
Tere shouln’t be any of these pukes or their running dog lackeys left outside of prison walls to coach the MSM. W can still take action to keep us safe by locking Harmon and her kind up.
I demand to see ALL of the security tapes from the Kennedy Kompound.
GUAR-UN-TEED there have been plenty of felonies tossed on the firelogs over the past 40+ years of Lard Lads adult life.
Back to the real enemy, not Huck, Mitt, Fred, Rudy, or John.
As mentioned here earlier on another thread, the CIA didn’t destroy these tapes because they show prisoners being tortured. They destroyed them because they pointed to complicity in 9/11 of several Saudi princes and a Pakistani military leader.
It’s nothing to do with torture.
It might be amusing if Harry Reid tried to call in former Saudi Ambassador Prince Turki and asked him if the Saudi government knew all about 9/11 before it happened, as these tapes evidently suggested. Go to it, Harry. But don’t expect the Saudis to pay your pension if you do.
Wow Tedward had his eyes closed the HOLE Kliton 8 years.
Gee Teddy, you didn't have shiite mooseslime to say about Hitleries missing records turning up the day after the statutes expired did ya???
.......he’s been drunk and staggering throughout his career......that’s nothing new.
Craven lickspittles all.
...many Americans are destroying the country themselves, from the inside. :-(
Well, what's the use then.

...many Americans are destroying the country themselves, from the inside. :-(
And many are not. What's new?
Get that Sandy Burger and FBI files stuff straightened out and we’ll get back to you “floater”.
This is good; another wild goose chase, even less gets done and their poll ratings reach the “please flush twice “ level.
Amazing, it was not all foaming at the mouth Dims all the time when it was disclosed
On Pearly Harbor Day, perhaps it's worthwhile to recall the USS West Virginia. Although she was listing and sinking, much like our country today, some counterflooding allowed her to settle softly, eventually being repaired and sailing out again to do battle.
We can't ignore what damage is being done to our great country and nation, but neither can we just despair at it. Appropriate and energetic action is required.
So, is this the CIA we all love and trust, the one that did the NIE and is battling against Bush’s lies, or the eeeeeevillllll CIA that does Bush’s bidding? Which one lost the tapes?
