What’s up with this “harsh interrogations” crap anyway? Is being “harsh” with a murdering Islamofascist terrorist now against the Geneva/Hague conventions too?
Everything the CIA does should be secret.
Discreditied by whom? The terrorists? The French? Code Pink? When the next attack comes... and with the restrictions upon those who protect us going up every day they will, we'll see if the American people really want to make smores and sing Cum-bye-ya with terrorists or kick their asses.
I agree. If everything they do has to be reported by the national “news media”, then what’s the sense of even having the CIA.
If Obama is closing down Guantanamo, rendition flights of the prisoners can’t be far behind. Those animals are not wanted in the U.S. or Europe.
So where will they end up? China, in Woo’s pig pen? (HBO Deadwood reference)
Or does it just mean that he will probe "Obama's Crimes" alongside the "Bush Crimes"?
That make it official, where’s my Code Pink “ARREST OBAMA” shirt?
After watching BHO in the primaries I discovered that one of his favorite words is “divisive” with the short “i” not the long “i” the other word he loved to use in speeches was
“shuttered”
In any case, if I read it correctly, he just gave a one-year extention to both Guantanamo and the supposed secret CIA prisons. Now he’s signed off on renditions.
I want to agree with some others. Everything the CIA does should be secret. It would be secret now, except that CIA was doing everything it could to soil Bush’s nest. It is noteworthy that almost everything that they exposed in an effort to hurt Bush will now continue under Obama.
I’d prefer that Obama have kept going and repudiated renditions.
Both torture and torture by proxies help lose the “war” for us.
“Obama’s decision to preserve the program did not draw major protests, even among human-rights groups. Leaders of such organizations said that reflects a sense, even among advocates, that the United States and other nations need certain tools to combat terrorism.”
LOL, what a bunch of hypocrites, they would’ve skewered Bush.
The upper echelon of the Socialist crowd will cover for Obama occasionally, but something tells me that the Dummies, and moveon’sters will be up in arms lmao.
My guess is the reason the Left isn’t screaming about this is that they probably don’t know about it.
Not crazy about your typography. Hard to read.
I don’t know. Remember Ron Silver back in the Clinton days exclaiming, “ it’s ok, they’re our planes now”. I figure the left will now say, “it’s ok, it’s our CIA now”.
Yes, hypocrits
hypocrits... I need a new keyboard. Sometimes it types the key I hit and sometimes it leaves it blank or gets carried away and types multiples of that key.
A new keyboard is definitely in my near future. lol
A rendition of hope.
Also remember that rendition was first practiced in Slick Willie’s administration.
"Under limited circumstances, there is a legitimate place" for renditions, said Tom Malinowski, the Washington advocacy director for Human Rights Watch.
What incredible hypocrites. Also no mention that rendition was begun under Clinton while Leon Panetta looked on.
