Criminal investigation into CIA treatment of detainees by Eric Holder is expected

[eastforker]

Who does this guy think he is anyways, JFK???I remember at the time of his campaign that he was going to break the CIA into a thousand pieces, we saw how that worked out for him.

[bergmeid]

Is he really that stupid or is he really that evil? I guess both.

[Dr. Ursus]

We will only prosecute only the white agents!

OT: Do you know this woman they’ve trotted out, re: Healthcare [Gail A. Reed]

No, haven't heard of her. I'll take a look. Thanks.

[demkicker]

It is obvious obamma is doing this take the heat off the coverage of the healthcare debacle and protest, giving the MSM fodder to go after something else.

These people are indeed scary as hell because they are half-baked fools if they think they can get the American people upset that terrorists were roughed up a little during interrogations. Hell - I'd like to see a poll on how the American people believe terrorists, who are willing and thrilled to saw our heads off, should be treated.

This proves they are completely out of touch with citizens of this country. They keep this crap up, not one dem will be re-elected!!! That's what I'm praying for - and maybe then these traitors will be driven deep down into their slimey holes to rot in hell.

[b4its2late]

Good point.

[dennisw]

Oh goody. This will give CIA operatives and retirees more incentive to dig up crap on Obama that will show how unsuitable he is to be president

Plus the American people don’t want the CIA investigated. This is Nancy Pelosi style ultra-liberalism

[demkicker]

I’m waiting for the day when the CIA finally gets sick of it and somehow manages to get Obongo’s genuine birth certificate and school records released to the public.

I'm praying this happens. There is just so much abuse the CIA can take. Maybe it's time their operatives take some inventive and lethal actions to the enemies within.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Good! This is like have Jack Bauer mad at Obama.

This will not be good for Obama. The CIA has the means and ability to dig up a lot of dirt on Obama and get it to those who could do the most damage.

[trisham]

A senior Justice Department official said Holder envisions a probe that would be “narrow” in scope...

***************

Which in all likelihood means exactly the opposite.

[EternalVigilance]

My chosen headline for this story:

Obama Attorney General ready to launch war against our own intelligence services

[jackv]

They are quite good at changing the subject. From one outrageous exercise to the next.
It is rare, the one who can keep up with it all!!
God bless those of us who pray!

[bmwcyle]

Obama’s plan is complex and we have only seen less than 10% of it. We are in a full court press and they have us fighting with each other over the birth issue. I am not a follower but Alex Jones is right more than he has been wrong lately. I think his Bush stuff might be over done but his Obama issues hold more water. When I hear Coast to Coast AM covering conservative more often lately speaks volumes to me. The men running Obama behind the curtain are more bold and tipping their hand more. The government is hiring more and converting contact jobs to government job at a very fast rate. Rush was right when he said it would take 25 years to clean up this mess.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Yep.
Torture?

5 “kosher” meals a day. Access to the medical care it the world. Prayer time. Access to human-rights organizations.

AND IT’S OK FOR THE TERRORISTS TO HAVE THEIR AC SET AT 72 DEGREES, BUT NOT FOR THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.

[dools007]

I’m not sure what Holder and his Marxist boss have to gain by continuing this charade. Perhaps, it is a way to distract the dembot voters by keeping them focused on Bush, Cheney and Haliburton.

[uncbob]

when power shifts,as it always does,paybacks are gonna be a B.

Yeah Bush did a great job of paying back by getting rid of all the Clintonistas in DOJ etc etc

[luv2ndamend]

Anything to keep his agenda off the front page! distract, distract, distract!

[khnyny]

This news to shore up the base on “health care.” Obama is losing folks everywhere, so he’s going to investigate the CIA to re-establish his radical credibility and bring the extreme Leftists home.

That's funny.

A completely cheap distraction and waste of time and money. Imho, disgusting display of politics. They are doing this now because the left has started to turn on Obama - especially when they realized his backroom deal with big pharma.

From article: "I don't blame them for wanting to look into it," said a former high-ranking Justice Department official familiar with the details of the program. "But if they appoint a special prosecutor, it would ultimately be unsuccessful, and it would go on forever and cause enormous collateral damage on the way to getting that unsuccessful result."

[Bobalu]

This just might turn into fun.

Not wise to mess with certain 3 letter agencies.

What is the probability that at least since 9/11 all telephone conversations particularly in large US cities have been recorded, compressed, encrypted and stored away just in case they are ever needed?

cell calls, POTS calls, email, pager data, text messages...you name it, it’s likely available to someone.
