The Senate CIA Report and Democratic Treachery

feinsteinOn Tuesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee released the 500-page executive summary of the report on the CIA’s enhanced interrogation of terrorist detainees. Democrats, the media and Republican Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) are using it as an opportunity to hammer the CIA and the Bush administration, while American embassies, military units and other U.S. interests are preparing for possible reprisals. But adding further threats to Americans already in harm’s way matters not. Beleaguered congressional Democrats are desperate for a political boon and have turned to an old standby: sabotaging national security and sacrificing American lives.

Since their betrayal of the Iraq war, Democrats, particularly in the Senate, have panned the techniques used by the CIA to garner critical information in the days following 9/11 as “torture,” and have claimed that they yielded no useful intel. Though the use of these techniques was long known to Democrats — with virtual indifference toward them at the outset — many Democrats have since claimed they were unaware of what was occurring, which explains their lack of opposition to their government supposedly engaging in “torture.”

Leading the way on the latter fabrication was then-House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Her ongoing denials regarding knowledge of the CIA’s waterboarding of terrorists were ultimately undone by Pelosi herself in 2009, when she finally admitted she had known about the program since 2003. Yet even as she admitted it, she continued to promote the “Bush lied, people died” lie, insisting that “the C.I.A. was misleading the Congress and at the same time the administration was misleading the Congress on weapons of mass destruction.”

Those would be the same weapons of mass destruction whose existence was acknowledged by the New York Times last October.

As for so-called torture, the report cited sleep deprivation, threatening subjects with death, “rectal feeding” or “rectal hydration” described by the CIA’s chief of interrogations as a way to exert “total control over detainees,” and waterboarding, as in simulating near drowning. The report further stated that former CIA directors George J. Tenet, Porter J. Goss and Michael V. Hayden hyped the value of those techniques in secret briefings with the White House and Congress.

Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein admitted that she “could understand the C.I.A.’s impulse to consider the use of every possible tool to gather intelligence and remove terrorists from the battlefield, and the C.I.A. was encouraged by political leaders and the public to do whatever it could to prevent another attack,” but that “such pressure, fear and expectation of further terrorist plots do not justify, temper or excuse improper actions taken by individuals or organizations in the name of national security. The major lesson of this report is that regardless of the pressures and the need to act, the intelligence community’s actions must always reflect who we are as a nation, and adhere to our laws and standards.”

The hypocrisy is breathtaking. While the Left wrings its collective hands about “torture,” they remain silent to Barack Obama’s drone program. One that has not only killed terrorists, but America citizens, Samir Khan, and Anwar al-Awlaki. Both men were traitors, but they were executed without the due process the Left supposedly reveres so much in the case of terrorist detainees. So was Awlaki’s 16-year-old son, as well as innocents who were victims of collateral damage. No one was reported to have been killed by the Bush administration’s enhanced interrogation techniques, yet somehow Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney are routinely referred to as “war criminals” while Obama largely gets a pass.

The Washington Post’s Bill Gerson cuts right through the double-standard, noting intelligence personnel now being excoriated received the same “direction and protection,” consisting of presidential approval, congressional briefing, lawfulness determined by the U.S. Attorney General and target value determined by the CIA Director as those currently participating in the drone program. “Some may argue a subtle moral distinction between harshly interrogating a terrorist and blowing his limbs apart,” Gerson writes. “But international human rights groups and legal authorities generally look down on both. The main difference? One is Obama’s favorite program. A few years from now, a new president and new congressional leaders may take a different view.”

This double standard puts the lie to Democrats’ seriousness toward the claim that the Bush administration engaged in “torture,” illegality and human rights abuses in its mission to thwart terrorist attacks against the homeland. In truth, the campaign against tough interrogation is a political cudgel that Democrats have employed to bludgeon their political enemies, no matter the national security cost. It amounts to nothing less than a revisionist effort to turn those entrusted with protecting the country in the immediate aftermath of the worst domestic attack in American history into pariahs, even as the war remains ongoing. As Gerson so rightly notes, the report’s release is an act of “exceptional congressional recklessness” engineered by Feinstein, whose “legacy is a massive dump of intelligence details useful to the enemy in a time of war.”

Our allies are equally appalled. ”Foreign leaders have approached the government and said, ‘You do this, this will cause violence and deaths,”’ warned Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. “Our own intelligence community has assessed that this will cause violence and deaths.”

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest acknowledged such concerns, but insisted the administration “strongly supports the release of this declassified summary of the report.”

No doubt. The release neatly coincided with ObamaCare mega-consultant Jonathan Gruber’s Congressional testimony regarding his contempt for the American public, and the deception employed to get the ACA passed. Thus, the administration has once again employed a bait and switch effort to distract the public, despite the fact that distraction imperils Americans and our allies.

CIA veteran Jose A. Rodriguez Jr., who ran the enhanced interrogation program, destroys the contention that Democrats were out of the loop, and that the enhanced interrogation techniques yielded no useful information. “The leaders of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees and of both parties in Congress were briefed on the program more than 40 times between 2002 and 2009,” he reveals, noting those same lawmakers “urged us to do everything possible to prevent another attack on our soil.” He was equally forthright about the intel that was garnered. “After extraordinary CIA efforts, aided by information obtained through the enhanced-interrogation program, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed architect of the 9/11 attacks, was captured in Pakistan,” he explains.

He is especially critical of “hypocritical” Democrats. He cites Feinstein’s 2002 assertion that “we have to do some things that historically we have not wanted to do to protect ourselves,” as well as an interview between CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-WVA), then the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. In response to Blitzer’s question about whether Khalid Sheik Mohammed might be turned over to friendly countries with no restrictions on torture, the Senator admitted it was possible. “I wouldn’t take anything off the table where he is concerned, because this is the man who has killed hundreds and hundreds of Americans over the last 10 years,” he replied.

Rodriguez then adds a dose of devastating perspective to the mix. “If Feinstein, Rockefeller and other politicians were saying such things in print and on national TV, imagine what they were saying to us in private….Our reward, a decade later, is to hear some of these same politicians expressing outrage for what was done and, even worse, mischaracterizing the actions taken and understating the successes achieved,” he states.

Current and former CIA leaders bitterly contested the report. Bush-era CIA Director George Tenet labeled it “biased, inaccurate, and destructive,” adding that it “does damage to U.S. national security, to the men and women of the Central Intelligence Agency, and most of all to the truth.” CIA Director John Brennan said the agency made mistakes, but insisted “the record does not support the study’s inference that the agency systematically and intentionally misled each of these audiences on the effectiveness of the program.” A website launched by a number of intelligence officials blasted the report:

The recently released Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) Majority report on the CIA’s Rendition, Detention, and Interrogation Program is marred by errors of facts and interpretation and is completely at odds with the reality that the leaders and officers of the Central Intelligence Agency lived through. It represents the single worst example of Congressional oversight in our many years of government service.

Cheney also remains resolute about the necessity and legality of the program. “What I keep hearing out there is they portray this as a rogue operation, and the agency was way out of bounds and then they lied about it,” he said in a telephone interview with the New York Times. “I think that’s all a bunch of hooey. The program was authorized. The agency did not want to proceed without authorization, and it was also reviewed legally by the Justice Department before they undertook the program.” Cheney also had nothing but praise for those who participated. “As far as I’m concerned, they ought to be decorated, not criticized,” he added.

The alternative viewpoint? “Showing respect even for ones enemies. Trying to understand and in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view,” said Secretary of State and likely presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Americans have a choice to make between competing worldviews. The wrong choice will have deadly consequences.

    One has to wonder what interest does it serve to put America’s security at risk the publicizing this jaundiced “report.”
    State Department has warned U.S. embassies to brace for increased threats. In other words Obama administration is well aware of the dangers to America but goes ahead with his traitorous action.

    This is the same so-called transparent administration that stonewalled investigation into Fast & Furious, “lost” incriminating IRS e-mails, covered up Benghazi scandal, and even denied Congressional Democrats the opportunity read the bill of its signature “achievement” (ACA) before voting for it.

    Suddenly it has become imperative to be “transparent”, at the risk of sabotaging the ongoing on war on terror, thereby unneccesarily jeopardizing American lives.
    Does anyone need more proof Obama is a traitor intent on destroying America? In accordance with the “God damn America” preachments of his mentor – Jeremiah Wright.

    With all the nonsensical claims that enhanced interrogation yielded no useful intelligence, are they implying CIA agents are psychopaths and sadists who enjoy terror suspects just for the fun of it?

    • physicsnut

      it serves the interests of MediaMatters, Amy Goodman, Salon, AlterNet and the loons at NPR and WBAI who are all repeating and amplifying and making stuff up – because “after the Revolution everybody will have strawberries”

  • Ide-Clair

    I fail to see how democrats would get a political boon from releasing this report if it results in violence against Americans.
    Wouldn’t republicans be able to show that democrats were mindless to the welfare of Americans’ safety in their decision to make the report public?

    • Gislef

      Depends on how the media frames the issue.

      How many people in the media are telling you Democrats signed off on this same “torture” over the last decade?

    • YankeeintheBluegrass

      This isn’t about trying to score points. It’s about trying to reconcile the nation’s past immoral activities with our future.

      • Patriot077

        Only truth can reconcile past mistakes, if any.
        It seems the interrogation activities were quite successful as the murderers are still alive to tell their tales. Quite civilized even, if you ask me, when viewed against the barbarism of murdered innocents that continues today.

            I know of no society in human history where the people did not fight for their survival against those whose intent was to kill them or enslave them. In truth, the majority of human history has been one of slavery. If you don’t believe the goal of Islamists is to dominate and control the world, you have been living under a rock.

    That Feinstein is a loon. I watched her pathetic speech on TV. How anyone can take this person seriously is beyond me. Her sanctimony is only outweighed by her condescension. This woman is from San Francisco, the loon capital of America. I mean, she actually believes that one man bending another man over and sexually assaulting that man’s alimentary canal is normal behavior. And this person is lecturing the normal people on morality? This is treason what this woman and the DemocRATs are doing. I do hate these people.

  • dwayne roberson

    In 2013 Secretary of Defense Panneta admitted that CIA techniques had enabled the finding of Bin Laden. This common knowledge has since been revised and scrubbed to the new talking point, “torture doesn’t work”. Once again this illustrates the level of coordinated groupthink orchestrated by the left. Ahlert reminds us the acute double standard. The left taunts a human rights agenda, and implements a drone policy of unprecedented collateral damage of innocents, including American citizens executed with out a trial.

    • kiwi41

      That said , the US ” citizens ” ( traitors is a better term ), needed to be deleted; ” terminate with extreme prejudice ” I think is the correct terminology. It was the only thing that B_P_O_S has done right .

      Imagine if they had been bought to trial, at a cost of millions, possibly eventually released as ” their human rights were violated and they were not afforded due process “………….

      This is no time to be sentimental……….

      • dwayne roberson

        Agreed.

  • marlene

    There’s overt treason, stealth treason, in your face treason, subtle treason – no matter how you look at it, it’s treason in every government action for the last 6 years. They are all traitors and enemies of the people – not only the unconstitutional traitor obama, but also those who support, aid and abet his treasonous policies, and those who have failed to stop him.

    However, the most important aspect of this travesty is the timing. Obama recently signed treaties with the UN, under cover of darkness, giving the UN powers over US sovereignty.

    I don’t know if anyone remembers the “Halloween Massacre” of 1977 when Jimmy Carter ordered a more than willing Stansfield Turner then head of the CIA to abruptly cut loose 3,500 to 4,000 agents in the field without warning and with no way home. Several were killed when they were exposed. The result was no Democrat in the White House for 12 years. I think Feinstien will find her self alone in defending this report and her career is over.

    It’s too bad that jihadists got extreme treatment in our hands. It would have been better not to have believed that it needed to be done. We are at war with these people, or at least these people are at war with us. They hate us. They want badly to kill us all. We need intelligence. The next time we get hit without warning by jihadists, the Democrats will be clamoring to know why our intelligence agencies didn’t have an inkling of it beforehand.

          Yes, but the reason I mentioned it is that without exerting some force, no intelligence would have been gathered. It has always been such, hasn’t it? I can’t believe the moronic idiots who are spouting this report as a “cleansing”. Will those fools suffer first?
          I won’t fault anyone who resists to the fullest extent of his ability but breaks in the end. Many of our honorable POWs did not become martyrs.

  • tagalog

    Please don’t let yourself be deceived by that nonsense about due process for people who are war with us but who happen to be U.S. citizens. It’s a red herring; a person who is engaging in making war against the United States has abandoned the right to due process, just as a criminal who shoots at police officers trying to arrest him may get shot without any notice or opportunity to defend himself. Don’t fall for that due process baloney. We don’t shed any tears over the German-American citizens who were called for service in the German armed forces and got killed in World War II. I doubt if the U.S. Supreme Court would rule that al-Awlaki or that other guy were deprived of due process under the circumstances of their deaths.

    Obama using drones to kill our enemies, U.S. citizens or not, is one the few sensible things he is doing in the war on terror. Like all good collectivists, killing perceived enemies comes naturally to him.

  • Echo2November

    So we are to believe that this report, written entirely by democrats, having just been crushed in the midterm elections, is honest, authentic and transparent?

    I’m constantly amazed at the idiocy (or outright traitorous behavior) exemplified by radical leftists like Feinstein (et al). As often as they warn about millions of ‘right wing extremists’ hiding behind every bush ready to commit some heinous act (in her mind). I’m really surprised all of these ‘right-wing domestic terrorists’ haven’t taken out a laundry list of people like her who are increasingly becoming a national security threat to the United States of America. I’d think, if ‘they’ were that powerful, ‘they’ would be taking these threats out one-by-one.
    Ah, well, maybe there is no such animal, except that concocted by Hollywood.

    OBAMA’S HYPOCRISY ON TORTURE EXPOSED

    Obama’s youngest daughter Natasha is abducted by ISIS terrorists and is being held captive somewhere in the Islamic State with Caliph Baghdadi admitting the crime to the world; and announcing that he’s ordered the child’s death by decapitation on such and such a date to pay for Obama’s crimes against Allah, Islam and the Caliphate. The CIA captures one of the abductors and subjects him to conventional (legal) interrogation methods to extract info on Natasha’s whereabouts. But the terrorist won’t talk; not even the threat of death will make him betray his Caliph.

    Now does anyone believe that Obama would stop there, give up in despair and seal the fate of his daughter? That he would refuse on principle to use waterboarding or other “criminal,” “immoral,” “inhuman,” “unAmerican,” methods to save his beautiful dear girl from satanic, sadistic decapitation and torture-which ISIS will broadcast around the world hailing it as a victory for Allah? Is there any one so naïve as to believe that Obama would allow Natasha to die thinking that using waterboarding or worse to save her is a worse immorality and crime than her brutally horrific unjustified death? Could Obama or anyone live with themselves knowing they didn’t do everything possible to save a loved one from the clutches of such evil men?

    Imagine in the wake of the crime with Obama being asked by reporters why he didn’t use torture as a last resort to save his girl and answering “Because it’s immoral, unlawful and not who we are.” The entire world would be dumbstruck thinking this man an utterly, absolute, contemptible schmuck. But does anyone believe it would come to that, even for a normally senseless man like Obama?

She outed a bunch of CIA agents and put the entire American military in jeopardy. She is a revengeful bitch.

    Obama would have never been able to catch Osama Bin Laden without Khalid Shiek Mohammed’s intel. So, President Putz gets to crow about killing Bin Laden in an operation he ordered to stand down fter three opporutinities, and it took Leon Panetta to give the green light. None of the credit ever should have gone to Obama. It should have gone to Bush, Cheney, and the CIA.

    “Waterboarding” never killed anyone. It is not torture. compared to what Obama is allowing the IsamoNazis to get away with, it’s tickling by comparison.

    The Obama Administration has been the source of top secret leaks that got members of Seal Team Six ambushed on three separate occasions, including the worst one – the 36 who died aboard Extortion 17. This “failed’ rescue attempt was nothing of the sort. It was a set up from Day One to kill off more of Seal Team Six to destroy the true evidence of Obama’s involvement in funding Al Quaeda, his lie about killing Osama, and his lie about Al Qaeda.

    These Ferguson protestors are Nazis thugs, pure and simple. They should have been locked up before the protest for inciting violence. No more of these BS “social justice” crimes. Thry cite the Constitution while they trample on them. The Civil War is coming unless it stops at the top.;

    Diane Feinstein is wealthy beyond belief, arrogant, haughty and ignorant as the jackass that represents her party (the Democratic symbol, not the President) She typifies the “Progressive” as a narrow-minded ideologue interested only interested in “getting as even as she can” before she loses all power to the Republicans, who are just as bad, if not worse. She is as doltish as Nancy Pelosi and I am constantly amazed at how Bay Area Democrats are so gulled by this valueless, unprincipled plastic bag.
    This is why I left the Bay Area and finally, California altogether! Unfortunately, I am not doing much better in Western Oregon where the Libs who were even too radical for San Francisco all ended up.

    “Those would be the same weapons of mass destruction whose existence was acknowledged by the New York Timeslast October.”

    What you conveniently leave out is this part from the Times article:

    “The discoveries of these chemical weapons did not support the government’s invasion rationale.”

    Bush insisted that Saddam had an ACTIVE weapons program after the 9/11 attacks, yet all the weapons found were manufactured before 1991 and furthermore were designed in the US, manufactured in Europe, and filled in production lines built by western companies.

Does Dianne mean a nation that elects presidents and members of Congress who despise the rule of law, their own Constitution, liberty, and a government of we, the people but rather believe certain self-appointed elitist’s, with their totalitarian hands, should rule over the stupid masses? Does Dianne mean a nation where emotion, sexual gratification, greed, a lack of common sense, a minority rule over the majority, and a hatred by many of the principles and values upon which this nation was founded and which have served to give people the opportunity and tools to live a better life? Does Dianne mean a nation where too many would rather be slaves to a totalitarian state than free?

    I keep waiting for somebody to offer an opinion about what the Democrats are trying to accomplish with their childish and destructive behavior. The subtext of this stunt seems obvious to me: “Shame on you, America, for voting Republican in November! Republicans are torturers. See? Aren’t you sorry, now? You better vote Democrat next time, because we are the only party that would never do such bad things.”
