CIA Director Says He Would Resign If Ordered To Resume Waterboarding

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – CIA Director John Brennan said on Wednesday he would resign if the next president ordered his agency to resume waterboarding suspected militants, an apparent reference to comments by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump embracing the banned interrogation method.”I can say that as long as I’m director of CIA, irrespective of what the president says, I’m not going to be the director of CIA that gives that order. They’ll have to find another director,” said Brennan, who did not mention Trump by name.

Brennan, who has been director since 2013, tacked his comment to the end of his response to a question about drone strike policy after speaking at the Brookings Institution, a Washington policy institute.Brennan said previously he would refuse to resume the practice, which simulates drowning and was used by the CIA on three suspected militants detained in secret foreign prisons during President George W. Bush’s administration.

But his pledge to resign if ordered to revive waterboarding was his most emphatic affirmation of his position to date.

Good. It’ll be less costly than firing him.

Walk quickly when you leave so the door doesn’t hit you in the a$$ and render you mentally challenged.

He should resign.
He thinks jihad is a legitimate tenet of Islam.
He calls Jerusalem Al-Quds.
Only muslims call it that.

Waterboading? I’ll do it. Where do I sign up and what are the qualifications?

That’s good. We need somebody who doesn’t suck up to Islam when we try to stop the all out invasion of America by the Muzzies.
