Feinstein: Torture report is about us, not enemies, and we must enact reform
The San Francisco Chronicle ^ | December 12, 2014 | Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)

On Tuesday, a five-year review of the CIA’s detention and interrogation program was finally made public, drawing back the curtains on a very dark period of American history. The purpose of making this report public is simple: to ensure something like this can never happen again.

The 500-page executive summary that was made public is part of a larger 6,700-page review of a CIA program that included clear examples of torture, far outside the bounds of American values.

It’s important to remember the study is based on CIA’s own records: 6.3 million pages of the CIA cables, memos, reports, e-mails and other documents. These records from the very time the actions took place — appear extensively in the report’s 38,000 footnotes.

Many of these records were disturbing, at times deplorable....

Di-Fi if you want something, it must be bad; therefore I will advocate for the opposite.

The commie ‘RATS’ version of “American values” is why the U.S. hasn’t had an undisputed win on the battlefield since WWII.

In my view, you have committed treason.

Go away.

Her flawed report aids terrorists. If an American is killed, his blood is in her hands. THIS WHILE DIANNE WITH HER MEGA-MILLIONAIRE HUSBAND WHO MADE HIS WEALTH IN CHINSE DEVELOPMENTS WHILE SHE SERVED ON THE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE LIVE ON A HILLTOP OVERLOOKING THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.

Shooting and bombing people are “far outside the bounds of American values” (Feinstein’s words), but when other values (survival, freedom) are at serious risk, you do what you have to.

I agree with her. Deport all socialists now. Turn their property over to charities that support populations oppressed by socialist tyranny. I guess that would be us...

Translation: “I was caught,as chair of senate intel committee with my panties down—leaking to supposed israeli agents who turned out to be cutouts for the Muslim Brotherhood— and I was caught doing this by the NSA and CIA spying on me and my staff!!” “So, having spent 40 mill on shiite we already were briefed on and approved their actions- now I pontificate on the legal actions— to piss on the CIA for spying on me”

Dat’s cause i’se a bad biotch. And greed one too in the land of fruits and nuts. And don’t forget— all firearms in the US should be seized. Needed for the marxist NWO and enabling more of us venture socialists to RULE the lumpen masses.

Who knows, maybe they'll start accusing cops of being racist.

So, what does she suggest we do in a ticking time bomb scenario?

Most progressives would declare it a myth and fiction, but is it?

If we operate on liberal standards of war, al qaeda and ISIS might as well downgrade from messy suicide bombers to placing bombs with timers on them.

“Feinstein: Torture report is about us, not enemies, and we must enact reform”

Good idea! Lets get started by apologizing to the terrorists, rebuilding the World Trade Center, and giving Ms Feinstein an office on the top floor.

She is a traitor and needs to be put out to pasture. But, Californians will just vote in another clueless Democrat in her place.

Us? As in Corrupt Senators and Executives who connive to procure massive wealth thru insider info and crony connections?

Are WE all as corrupt as you and your hubby?

WE certainly aren’t as rich,, coincidence? Or by design?

Thanks DiChiFi, Merry Xmas to your and your connections.
