Did the Democrats sabotage the intelligence gathering capabilities of the CIA

It all started shortly after President Obama’s inauguration. The Democrats went after the Bush administration for everything from waterboarding to being guilty of war crimes.

Pelosi dropped the big one in May when she was quoted in a press conference; “In that or any other briefing ... we were not, and I repeat, were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation techniques were used," Pelosi said at a news conference in April. “What they did tell us is that they had some legislative counsel ... opinions that they could be used, but not that they would." With that statement, Pelosi tied the hands of the CIA.

In the Los Angeles Times on August 9, they reported that a criminal investigation was underway on CIA treatment of detainees. “A senior Justice Department official said that Holder envisioned an inquiry that would be narrow in scope, focusing on "whether people went beyond the techniques that were authorized" in Bush administration memos that liberally interpreted anti-torture laws”. Way-to-go U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr.

The next in line was our military. Maybe you remember Fallujah way back in 2004; four Blackwater security guards were murdered and hung off a bridge in broad-daylight. In November: three Navy Seals captured the mastermind of that brutal attack. In the process of his capture, the Seals roughed-up the suspect, just a bit. Now these heroes are facing criminal charges. What is wrong with this picture?

Does the CIA and the Police in our country have something in common? Since the suicide bomber killed eight people on the U.S. base in eastern Afghanistan, the CIA has launched an all-out Predator attack on Al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan. The CIA and the Police avenge their own.

Now on the News all the so-called experts are debating where the system failed while Washington vows to find the underlying cause of the failure. It is business as usual in America.

Hey Washington, not all Americans have Alzheimer’s or short-term memory loss, even though you do have the News Media in your back pocket or maybe they can’t see the forest for the trees. You have bullied, brow beat and threaten the intelligence community and the military to the point that they are like an old abused dog. When you yell at him, he will look for the club in your hand before he comes, even then he may not come at all.
