The Self-Hating Americans - What the CIA report says about the American Left

And in a vivid display of just how far self-hating Americans will go to smear their own country, look no further than this quickly infamous leftist-generated so-called CIA report. Its title as bequeathed by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence: Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program.

[I want the USA back]

Shortly after 9/11 the left went back to its usual position: hating this country and loving its enemies. This “report” comes from their hatred for this country.

Also, as a bonus, they are using this to get back at Bush.

[Old Sarge]

Forty years from now, a Leftist will be in a government-run “end of life dignity” facility, lying in a pool of her own excrement, gasping out her last death rattle:

“BUSH STOLE THE ELEC-ugggnghgn...”

Hate like this never dies.

Apparently many people feel waterboarding someone is actually worse than killing them. My own feeling is that if there is no benefit from interrogating the Al-Qaeda monsters we captured, they should be disposed of as quickly as possible. By disposing of them, I mean shooting them. And we've only waterboarded three of them. And to claim we would keep on waterboarding or using other forms of enhanced interrogation if they didn't work is ridiculous.

But getting to the main point, are these people going to tell me that if we can prevent the deaths of thousands or millions of people by roughing somebody up, we shoudn't do it? Because it violates our principles? But if we shoot that person or send a drone to bomb their bodies into tiny parts, that's not as bad as waterboarding them? Ridiculous!

I’m not a fan of the use of “self-hating” adjective either. You are correct...they don’t hate themselves, they hate practically everybody else, but they love themselves.

This is all about Feinstein being pissed that the CIA was peeking under her covers in the Senate Intelligence Committee. Petulant, childish behavior on her part.

I think the real story should be that the report cost taxpayers $40 million to produce.

A waste of time and money poorly spent.

“Why don’t we just call them exactly what they are. Traitors, liars and Scumbags. They make me sick!”

You left out a few like psychotic, adolescent, revolutionary, murderous, riot-inciting, arrogant, baby-killing, communist swine. (No insult intended to swine.)

(”Progressives” called American fighting men “baby-killers” during the Viet Nam war, yet, Progressives have killed more babies than anyone who ever existed, with the exception of their fellow communist revolutionaries.)

IMHO

I totally agree. It was her last chance to get back at the CIA for snooping at what she was doing .. but .. my question has always been .. WHY were they concerned about what she was doing ..??

And .. it’s been confirmed that this report was written by the DEMOCRAT STAFF of the Intel Comm .. not the Democrat Senators on the Committee. And .. the $40 mil must have been in the form of a bribe (????) and it gives these staff members a hefty bonus for Christmas. Disgusting.

Shame on them all for causing all our military families so much grief.

[HotHunt]

My answer would be because they could. I mean they're spies. That's what they do. I don't know what they were looking for but it was their oversight committee so they were just trying to get ahead of the game maybe. I don't think we ever know what really goes on behind the scenes in DC because there is so much spin and obfuscation, but the $40 million we've already wasted doesn't need more taxpayer money piled on top of it to keep searching ad infinitum.

Not only shame on them for putting our people's lives at risk, the military and the CIA and their agents, but it gives ISIS and al Qaida ammunition for recruiting and retaliation on Americans. China, Iran and North Korea have already made statements about how bad our human rights record is because of this report. Really? REALLY? Talk about the pots calling the kettle black.
