The Senate Intelligence Committee has released its report on the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program after 9/11, and the details are being circulated around the world.
So NOW can we indict those responsible?
Oops, almost forgot. We’re not doing indictments anymore …
Indeed. It seems like no one but the media is getting any satisfaction these days…
The media are having a field day. Or week. Or several months.
I always knew that Vince Flynn was writing true stories and Mitch Rapp is a real person! 😈
If only this whole thing were fiction …
It does read like it, I read the full report in the NY Times this morning, the arrogance of the CIA and their controllers blew me away. Better it were fiction.
Indeed. But the buck stopped at the president’s desk.
Yes but which President, it seems to me that it was Geo Dubya’s doing and that President Obama stopped it; and the years covered would indicate this to be correct ;so it looks like another stain on President Bush, & VP Cheney administration, and it was stopped at President Obama’s Resolute Desk.
I do not think that world history will treat Geo. W Bush’s Presidency very well, how American history treats it will depend on who’s writing it I suppose, Elefumps or the Donkeys ❓
Bush, of course. I thought that was obvious when I used the past tense. He, Cheney, and Rumsfeld should be prosecuted.
Sorry PT I keep putting my foot in my mouth lately; must be getting old. I agree about the prosecutions but there’s Buckleys chance of that :'(
At best,the CIA’s Detention & Interrogation Program report is a can of worms left out in the sun to ripen! It is very apparent that the United States stooped to the level of it’s enemies to extract information from people and soldiers who were unwilling to cooperate. It is truly a black eye for America! The extremely sad part of this whole situation is,America will probable not learn from this and do it again.
First, America as a whole was not responsible for this. But because it was the actions of a relatively few people, it’s impossible to say it couldn’t happen again. There will always be some bad apples in the mix somewhere. All the more reason those responsible should be prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law. Of course, when the White House is involved, doing so becomes … perilous. But dishonoring what this country stands for and lowering it to the level of our enemies is not something that should be pardoned and forgotten. Those responsible should be held accountable, and responsibility begins at the top.
My general feeling is I would like to “rectal feed” Dick Cheney my foot.
Works for me.
Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld (at the very least) should be indicted for war crimes.
I couldn’t agree more.
