Obama spokesman announces interrogation unit

EXCERPT

The new unit does not mean the CIA is now out of the interrogation business, deputy White House press secretary Bill Burton told reporters covering the vacationing Obama at Oak Bluffs, Mass.

Burton said the unit will include "all these different elements under one group," and it said that it will be situated at the FBI headquarters in Washington.

The unit would be led by an FBI official, with a deputy director from somewhere in the government's vast intelligence apparatus, and members from across agencies. It will be directly supervised by the White House, but the senior administration officials insisted the unit's agency bosses will make operational decisions, not the White House.

The Obamaclowns couldn’t successfully interrogate a 1st grader. (Oops, perhaps they could succeed with a public school first grader taught by those wonderful “education degree” union teachers.)

And as you look at the FR links of profane screaming matches Leon Panetta is having as he is being placed on Obama’s short list....

And as you know that another Czar is soon to be handling the CIA....

You don’t know whether to laugh as Obammie’s White House is crumbling and falling apart at the seams.....

Or cry because America is crumbling and falling apart at the seams.....

...
“With the agreement of Adolf Hitler, Himmler expanded the size of the SS. Himmler personally vetted all applicants to make sure that all were good ‘Aryan’ types. In 1932 Himmler introduced all-black uniform of the SS.”

NO DIFFERENCE

Private interrogations so that he can make sure he and the family are out of town when the terrorist strike hits. I am sure that blackberry he carries isn’t monitored either.

This administration is desperately trying to turn terrorism into a joke.



But the jokes on them.

supervised by the White House.....

That should scare the crap out of each and every one of us. What kind of oversight? Who will be interrogated? Is it even legal? Domestic terrorism suspects (aka citizens)?

If Congress does not get its head out of its collective ass, they will wake up one morning and discover they have handed over all power to the Executive branch.
