News – The U.S. Justice Department said on Wednesday it will launch a criminal investigation into the CIA's destruction of videotapes depicting the harsh interrogation of terrorism suspects.
Now if they would just look for terrorists instead of conducting witch hunts against our own intelligence agency.
I guess you don't get it. Americans are upset that "our own intelligence agency" has become a group of terrorists.
I wish we had people that ruthless guarding us but we don't.
One can almost feel your longful pining for hobnails and jackboots, and babies born to 'liberal' parents piked on bayonets...
Nice try Slug. Have your fantasy somewhere else. You're confusing me with Hitlery Clinton, the Oppressive Progressive.
You mean like the terrorists the GOP *wasn't* going after while they were wasting our country's time and tax dollars persecuting Bill Clinton? Oh, the tiny minds and short memory of the neocon are quite amazing.
Yeah, that pesky perjury thing got to some Conservatives back then but getting back to reality...how about you Libs quit apologizing for Clinton and dismantling our intelligence agencies?

Tell me - are you an equal opportunity defender of our
intelligence personnel? Ummmm - did you get all outraged
and vocal when the administration THREW AWAY a well trained
operative on WMD's like Valerie Plame?
Did ya feel your security had been comprimised for partisan
reasons? Did ya feel your hard-earned tax dollars spent on
training her and maintaining her cover had been wasted?
Well if you didn't...........then why not??
P.S. Please don't say she married the wrong guy if she
wanted to serve in the CIA. She did have a boss and he
was not dissatisfied, was he?
Plame worked at an embassy. Any moron who is familiar with embassy staff and their roles knows that they are routinely used for intelligence gathering. This is no secret to foreign governments. To suggest that she was a "secret" agent is ridiculous. This is an invalid point that would only be raised by someone who knows nothing about the subject. In any case, anyone in the intelligence community will tell you that the vast majority of intelligence is gathered through public sources.
Twinkle-Toes, would you like to explain away the revelation and the out of the brass-plate company Brewster Jennings which was also blown when Plame was outed?
Well Slug,
From the wikipedia entry on Brewster Jennings:
"The company's identity, Brewster-Jennings & Associates, became public because it appeared in Federal Election Commission records on a form filled out in 1999 by Valerie Plame, the case officer at the center of the controversy, when she contributed $1,000 to Al Gore's presidential primary campaign."
Next question.
Nice try
But, on that article you point to and that selected, cherry-picked quote, there is no connection between Brewster-Jennings, Plame AND the CIA. That connection isn't made until that traitor Novak opened his mouth. Before then, Brewster-Jennings, a 'cover' company, was not associated with the CIA & Plame apparenty was using the name properly, as a cover, on that contribution form.
Next time, don't pick little bits out. Be honest and splay the corpse for all to see. It will make you look less stupid. The connection between the CIA & Brewster-Jennings was only revealed when Traitor Novak did his deed in 2003. READ the freakin' article you quote, moron.
Ready for your next bit of apologetics...
"Yeah, that pesky perjury thing got to some Conservatives back then but getting back to reality..."
GMAFB. Time and time again Bush and all of his sorry little wipes demonstrate that they only care about adhering to the letter of the law when it serves their interests and you know this. That's why you don't care that Bush is crapping all over the Constitution and invading your privacy, it's why you look the other way when his administration destroys a CIA agents career, it's why you're kicking your heels in glee that Libby is getting off scot free and it's why you continually make up excuses over the Justice Department disgraceful activity under this President. Neocons are just a bunch of self-serving hypocrites who believe in party over country.
...Now if they would just look for terrorists
News flash...the terrorists who attacked us escaped into the tribal area of Pakistan(Talibanistan)
Or are you talking about the country we invaded, deposed the legitimate government, and are now occupying?
That legitimate dictator Saddam Hussein, who assassinated his way to the top? Yeah, what a guy. Think about that the next time they uncover another of his mass graves. So you're advocating invading Pakistan? You Libs protest one war and imply that we should start another. Get consistent!
...That legitimate dictator Saddam Hussein
Not the first murderous dicator supported by our interventionist foriegn policy.
...So you're advocating invading Pakistan?
Hummm, let see what did President Bush say about those countries that aid the terrorist?
My protests were against invading and having to occupy a country that did not attack us on 9-11 nor poised any type of significant threat to these United States. I would like to finish the war we started against the Taliban and al Queada regardless of where they went to hide an lick their wounds. You remember them don't you. They were the ones who attacked us on 9-11, killing over 3000.
"You Libs protest one war and imply that we should start another. Get consistent!"
--Ohhh...I get it. You mean that for the sole purpose of reminding the world of our awesome military might, we should all emulate chickenhawk neocons and leap at each and every opportunity to send other people's sons and daughters to their deaths?
Anyway, if memory serves me, the majority of Americans supported our efforts in Afghanistan (which is more than can be said of the Bush administration). And just as most of the world agrees that we didn't need to invade Iraq, it's only neocons are suggesting that we need to "start a war" in Pakistan. Hard as it might be for you to fathom, there are actions short of an all out war that can help to stabilize a country. Oh, wait... But then how would Blackwater contractors make their living?
Since you want to bring of the Nick Berg tape, um, perhaps you'd be able to explain why Nick Berg, in that tape, was wearing an orange, U.S. style prison jump-suit. Is this something that rag-tag 'muslim extremist terrorists' just happen to keep in healthy stock of? Did they pick up the orange prison jump-suit at the corner Blackwater Surplus store?
In truth, being that NONE of those individuals seen with Nick Berg are identifiable, so cloaked that even the most basic ethnic identifiers are shrouded, are we even sure that it WAS muslim extremist terrorists who committed that decaptitation? I have doubts. Considering the black-flag operations which have been done, considering the stupid choice to put Berg in a US-style suit, considering the crimes private contractors have already committed.
There is not one shred of evidence pointing to muslim extremists in that video, but there is (jump-suit to start) pointing to contractor involvement.
Color me cynical but I don't expect that this investigation from this Justice Dept of this administration will find that anything wrong occurred.
There is some good commentary on that point here.
White House Obstructed 9/11 Probe
News รข;; The bi-partisan co-chairmen of the 9/11 Commission, Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton, jointly published an Op-Ed in today's New York Times which contains some extremely emphatic and serious accusations against the CIA and the White House.

Oooh...a Truther refugee. Save it for Rosie!
As opposed to a Liar refuge (FoxNews)?
You mean Dan Rather and CBS News...I mean HDNet and his dozens of viewers.
Nope. It's just a smoke screen to take our minds away from something else for awhile. If ratting out an undercover spy doesn't stick, I doubt if anything else will.
It's amazing nobody is talking about Secure Flight, which goes into effect next month. Nobody's talking about the SC's upcoming ruling on the 2nd Amendment.
If they can't occupy us with a govt. scandle here or there, they can always throw Brittney's sister back up at us.

Nope. The media and the Libs. destroyed that one. You think they want us to see their friends cutting of Nick Bergs head?
you know what...it is people like you that would accuse a fellow countryman of being friends with a terrorist,especially a terrorist that beheaded one of our own,that makes me sick.Stupid punks like you would not dare say that to my face in public because you know that someone like me would go completely postal on your worthless a-s.You and people like you hide behind your keyboards and say this crap because you are a coward.I would love to meet you and see how brave you are.You make me sick !!
Baddad59, relax. The point is, and you read it here first, THIS INVESTIGATION IS GOING NOWHERE!
The unfortunate truth is you are probably right.And as far as relaxing,no..not with people like that.Sick f---s like damn liberal are what is wrong with this country,spineless morons that think they can hide and spout that kind of crap.
They destroyed a tape that was made by terrorists? Wow...That's pretty impressive.
Anyone point out yet today that you're apparently both a couple of idiots hiding your head in the sand? If there's nothing to hide, then why do you oppose an investigation?
...Nope. The media and the Libs. destroyed that one. You think they want us to see their friends cutting of Nick Bergs head?
What an ignorant and divisive thing to say. You trying to start a fight amoung Americans by spreading your hatred of liberty or what?
