WASHINGTON – The Obama administration launched a criminal investigation Monday into harsh questioning of detainees during President George W. Bush's war on terrorism, revealing CIA interrogators' threats to kill one suspect's children and to force another to watch his mother sexually assaulted.

At the same time, President Barack Obama ordered changes in future interrogations, bringing in other agencies besides the CIA under the direction of the FBI and supervised by his own national security adviser.

Obama is such a frkin’ punk! He's crashing in the poles, his ObamaCare is being rejected, so the little punk-ass pulls the ol “let's investigate Bush!”

He's a pathetic wussy!

After this, the CIA won’t be able to use any bluff. Way to go, Bummer.

Who cares? These are terrorist scum that would not hesitate to take all our families out. With these kinds of people, the only way to beat them is to show them that the price they pay for their actions is greater.

My bet is a good chunk of the American public isn’t going to be too pleased with attacking the people that have kept us safe for the last 8 years.

I think Obama is about to take on another doomed cause that will further anger much of America.

But apparently only conservatives seem to care. Some might say that there are some democrats that care, but as long as they give the numbers to the rats in Congress the Country will continue to give up to these bastards.

If they think by prosecuting the CIA over this BS they are scoring points with the American people then the Obama administration is even more inept than even I thought-are they trying to turn the majority over to the Republicans in congress? Maybe the pubbies are right by sitting on their hands and doing nothing-Obama is doing more to sink his party than any Republican ever could.

I agree. And i don’t think it has anything to do with punishing bush or giving a damn about anyone but Obama himself.
Don’t forget that the cia director just had a pissing match with the WH where he threatened to walk out.

This is war between the CIA and the WH. Obama is just fighting dirty and taking a cheep shot now.

Also since his poll numbers are dropping like a stone, he needs to rile up his base against Bush again to help pad his numbers for support in congress to get his socialized health care passed.

This is all about Obama ..

Bad headline! What “spurred the probe” was Obama’s desire to have the spectre of Stalinist show trials to push the government health care fiasco off the front page. And if Obama could do anything to make the America that he, his wife, and his closest associates have always hated more vulnerable to attack by her mortal enemies, that is the icing on the cake. We have the Enemy Within. God help us!

There’s genuine fear in the air. If we can fight the Marxists long enough and hard enough till the election, we will see a lot of Rats lose their seats. We just have to keep our eyes open during the election and take full advantage of our avenues of communication.

And when we do, we have to go after all the communists, including big labor. It’s time to go after that racket. It will be a long battle, but we have to bring them down.

The article does read like an Obama White House press release, doesn’t it?

Ordinary police are allowed to lie:

The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Police can lie to you in order to extract a confession, Frazier v. Cupp, 394 U.S. 731, 739 (1969).

The only place an officer cannot lie is while testifying under oath in court.

Pretending someone nearby was dead

Verbally threatening a terrorists family

—Yes. The CIA also threatened to hold the detainees tea & crumpets and to cancel the weekly Gitmo Koran study group if they remained uncooperative. Oh, the humanity!

The Zero administration is a fine one to talk about ‘inhumane’. What about post-birth abortions? “Give Granny a pain pill.”? War Wounded told to get their own health insurance? Air Force Zero terrifying New York during a photo-op? Inhumane CIA? Ha!
