Pappy | Uh, how so? Or is that how you're interpreting
the whole legalism are-we-gonna-prosecute-or-not deal?
Partly, IMNSHO. The destruction is due to the president revealing the
particulars of US interrogation techniques to the US enemies now and
potential.
There's been a nearly half-century unspoken promise that CIA agent
operations or the national security secrets of a previous
administration would be not disclosed for political reasons. That has
now happened.
Obama
went to Langley,
not to boost the morale of the Agency. It was to deliver a band-aid to
those who'd just got thrown under the bus by him. Damage control.
When you hear: "I know the last few days have been difficult - you need
to know you've got my full support" It's time to start looking for
another line of work. Especially since the difficulties have been
caused by the guy making that speech to you. And considering that he's
already backtracking on his promise not do the prosecution route on the
lawyers, the CIA agents can't trust him not to renege on his promise
not to prosecute them.
And if I was an Agency or Department depending on the CIA for intel
support or clandestine operations, I'd be looking for another source or
developing my own. |

Deacon Blues | Morning,
All. pappy I think Obama was sending the message to the CIA that if
they undermined him like they did Bush there would be consequences. I'm
interested in how the CIA will play this. With Bush They used Valerie
Plame and her worthless Spouse and leaked much stuff to the NYT on
interrogation, wiretaps, and money transfers. Is the CIA gonna help him
or oppose him? |
