Carter cut our intelligence to the bone which resulted in the capture of Americans under his watch. Panetta is so busy working on his plan to cut and gut our Defense Dept now...that has been his dream for years. Dems think waterboarding is torture? they have no clue what is or has been done to our agents. Torture is putting it mildly. We need a STRONG Commander in Chief, a strong Sec of Defense and experienced people such as John Bolton as advisors. LTC West should be on the intelligence committee or used as a source of advice. Bachmann is on that very committee....my heart is in my throat as the visual of what our agents endured goes through my mind...butchers from hell
