There’s probably nothing more awkward than a government investigating itself for murder and torture. You get weird details, like the announcement by DCI Panetta that the CIA will cover all the legal expenses of case officers who come under suspicion for being murderers or torturers.
“Panetta will do everything he can to ensure that anyone who needs legal representation has it, whether they have liability insurance or not,” said the senior intelligence official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak before the decision is publicly announced. “It’s a question of fairness. People who did tough jobs for the country won’t be left by the side of the road.”
I’m not saying there is anything wrong with this. It’s just strange. It’s not easy for one administration to prosecute the activities of another. Our system has the tools to do it, but not gracefully. Not least of which because of outfits like the Wall Street Journal.
Do we get to start calling it “the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal” yet? Not that the preceding ownership was much better.
I have been trying to keep up on most of these developments as best as I can, and understand it as best as I can. I have my reasons for this:
1)x-military
2)medical profession
3)cause it was wrong for this to have occurred d/t
laws that was in place preventing this thing
to happen.
I personally want those involved in this mess prosecuted and dealt with as should be. Should this involve some that is on the left of the spectrum, then so be it. I do, however, think this is all in the bowels of the vice president’s office and he with geew’s blessing did the most horrible things ever.
This give anyone precedent to do the same thing to ours anywhere in the world or on the battlefield, no matter what, who or where…….
We must shine a light on the wrongs that was done and say it should never be done by anyone anywhere! NO matter if they are the worst of the worst of the world.
This is and has to be done to move forward of which our president want to do. I sure hope he understand this.
It has to be done through the dept of justice and not attached to the WH for this reason. The justice dept is our dept. it is do to our bidding and not the WH in this regard.
I could go on and on but this is a summary of my reasons.
