Partisan Politics and the CIA

Spread the love

What we have seen devel­op over the last three weeks that cul­mi­nat­ed in a seri­ous dis­par­i­ty of the truth.

The Sen­ate Intel­li­gence Committee’s report on the CIA’s inter­ro­ga­tion pol­i­cy dur­ing the Bush years, which has final­ly been made pub­lic.

The prob­lem is that the report is one sided and could actu­al­ly be a crim­i­nal mat­ter…

This is a big prob­lem not only from an intel­li­gence stand­point but also because it cre­ates a huge issue with regard to the truth.

The report was not an offi­cial report, sim­ply because it was all one sided designed to dis­tract the amer­i­can pub­lic from the more seri­ous issues that we face with a lack of lead­er­ship in wash­ing­ton.

The release in 2009 of a report (from 2004) by its Inspec­tor Gen­er­al. Eric Hold­er used the report as a pre­text for appoint­ing a spe­cial coun­sel to look into the pos­si­bil­i­ty of bring­ing crim­i­nal charges against CIA inter­roga­tors. To my knowl­edge, no charges were brought, but CIA per­son­nel who helped pro­tect Amer­i­ca in a time of great dan­ger had to lawyer-up again (the DOJ had already con­sid­ered bring­ing charges once) and endure a polit­i­cal­ly moti­vat­ed inqui­si­tion.

Now, they must endure a report from Dianne Fein­stein and her fel­low Democ­rats that is more about excus­ing Fein­stein and oth­ers from their sign-off on what the CIA did than about pre­sent­ing the truth.

This is a big prob­lem that is not going to go away.

No one pub­lish­es this kind of intel­li­gence because every­one does this and our ene­mies do worse to our cit­i­zens.

The truth here is that this woman could be a trai­tor to our nation and action should be tak­en to inves­ti­gate her moti­va­tions for doing this.
