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 Im director of CIA, irrespective of what the president says, Im not going to be the director of CIA that gives that order. Theyll 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. Bushs administration.
But his pledge to resign if ordered to revive waterboarding was his most emphatic affirmation of his position to date.

He is probably afraid they will waterboard him to find out how many fifth columnists the Jihadists already have in the U.S. HALLS OP POWER.
Fine. We didn’t need a muslim in charge of the CIA in the first place.
?? There is no such thing as “complete surveillance”....
If this incompetent had resigned years ago, we would be winning in Iraq and Afghanistan and possibly a lot of terrorism attacks around the world would have been prevented or blunted.
The Red Chinese raid our computer networks and programs like a kid in a candy store and this schmuck is worried about waterboarding.
We can really pick losers, can’t we?
Or just nuke Mecca and Medina. Take away the fifth pillar, the Hajj, and they realize Muhammad was a false prophet, then they have no religion.
Sounds good to me.
Sounds good to me.
After he is no longer president, I would love to have Obama waterboarded to see just how corrupt he really is.
I hope doesn’t get the chance to resign. I want to see Trump say “You’re fired!”.
“Except, of course,” he added, “for those right-wing, small-government types.”
He should resign right now for his failure to protect this coountry from terrorist attacks.
Well leave now you scum. Pack up your prayer rug, jump on your flyin’ carpet, and ride the hell out of our Country you muslim POS.
Yes! On Judges. There should be a standing IMPEACHMENT committee tasked with investigating complaints about these judges who think they are legislators.
They then should be able to recommend one way or another to the full Senate to put the bastards on trial if they won’t resign.
The forefathers fully intended that Federal Judges be culled out every so often. This is why they included this IMPEACHMENT authority in the Constitution.
Then he should start clearing his desk out in the next 5 months.
Wouldn’t even get to the act ‘dog. As soon as Barry got just a glimpse of the towel, board and water jug, his lips would start flappin’ so fast it would like how he does Reggie.
Good. We will get another one.
I suspect Trump would clean house before this pantywaste had a chance to resign.
Can’t do that.
He knows far too much.
‘Retire’ him.
