Obama: No Plans to Ask Justice to Drop CIA Interrogation Probe
Fox News / Poliitics ^ | 9/20/2009 | AP writer

WASHINGTON -- President Obama says he has no plans to ask the Justice Department to end its criminal investigation into the harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists during the Bush administration.

Seven former CIA directors have asked the president to do just that. In a letter to Obama on Friday, they warned that the probe could discourage CIA officers from doing the kind of aggressive intelligence work needed to fight terrorism.

Obama tells CBS' "Face the Nation" that he appreciates that the former CIA chiefs are wanting "to look after an institution that they helped to build."

This man hates this country and is out to damage it in any way he can. How obvious can it be?

(Obama tells CBS’ “Face the Nation” that he appreciates that the former CIA chiefs are wanting “to look after an institution that they helped to build.”)

Obviously he’s got an agenda that is completely opposite to the CIA chiefs, i.e. he’s after destroying the institution.

Jimmy Carter all over again....

First, destroy economy.
Second, destroy and demoralize our military.
Third, allow Soviet then / Russian now intrusion all over the world.
Fourth, destroy the CIA.

Hopefully his admin will end the same with a massive landslide defeat to a great conservative leader.

It would be interesting to really know what country he works for — it surely is not the United States.

Guess we know how that conversation went with the CIA. “No Mr. President, we will not help you destroy America and “change” it to suit your communist goals”. Oh, ok, then. Eric, sic ‘em!

Obama: No Plans to Ask Justice to Drop CIA Interrogation Probe

The guys in the CIA have got to be thinking: "Maybe Biden wouldn't be so bad after all..."

The joke is that the CIA is way to the left, and spent the past eight years undermining President Bush.

But evidently they are not far enough to the left for Obama.

Since the C.I.A. is supposed to be good at this intelligence stuff, maybe they should start looking into Obama’s school records, COLB, college records, law records and what his real name and who is real father is.

If Glenn Beck, who started out just a few years ago just like you and me, can dig up so much on Obummer, the Fascist, and his Chicago mobster crew, just think what the CIA could do with their powers.

Surely at some point a group of CIA operatives will realize that they need to protect this country from the enemy within even though they were created to work against the enemy from outside our borders.

Our freedom, our national security and every thing this country stands for is being destroyed and our best hope is for some group of CIA, FBI or Secret Service agents to help Glenn Beck and others like him.

Back in the day, E Howard Hunt claimed LBJ and the CIA took out Kennedy. Maybe that is what Obama is afraid of and wants them neutered.
