Anyone else watch "60 Minutes" tonight?
That CIA asshole, I wanted to smack him in the face with a 2 x 4.
Smug, self-righteous, deceptive, and sadistic. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-57423533/hard-measures-ex-cia-head-defends-post-9-11-tactics/?tag=cbsContent;cbsCarousel

4. Creepy bastard. He was just making excuses and trying to cover his ass.
|
However, he stated the people at the highest levels approved everything. So he fingered them all.

5. Not Just Creepy, Criminal
|
That guy sat there and admitted to criminal acts that got Germans and Japanese hung in 1945 !
What came to my mind: Why would the CIA let him come on and say ANYTHING? I guess they/he is not afraid of any repercussions of coming on and admitting he is a war criminal? Interesting how his main justification was: 'You have to remember how scared we were back then.' <words to that effect... Wasn't there a day in America when this would be met with public/media outrage? Won't even be a blip on a radar tomorrow... |

8. Yes. And he bragged about his "reason" for destroying the tapes.

"To protect the guys on the tape from Al-Qaeda."

9. My husband is convinced CIA threatened

Obama and his family and that's why no one got in trouble for war crimes, including Bush and Cheney.
I was blown away last night to see the CIA office called George Bush Intelligence Agency or something like that, made me sick. |
