GOP senators against special prosecutor to probe CIA
Source: The Hill

Several Republican senators are urging Attorney General Eric Holder to scrap plans to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate CIA officials who interrogated suspected terrorists.

In a letter to Holder sent Wednesday, the nine GOP Senators, including Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.), the ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, said that the appointment of a special prosecutor could “have serious consequences, not just for the honorable members of the intelligence community, but also for the security of all Americans.”

<snip>

The senators argue that the interrogation of Mohammed produced information that “was absolutely vital” to capturing other terrorists and preventing other attacks on the United States, such as a West Coast plot to destroy the Library Tower in Los Angeles.

<snip>

The other signatories of the letter are: Sens. Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, Saxby Chambliss (Ga.), John Cornyn (Texas), Tom Coburn (Okla.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Richard Burr (N.C.).

and make sure that the monies are being properly spent. Republicans have no say in this matter, and they will be severely curtailed in 2010 when they continue to bleed more Republicans because they're a bunch of idiots.

18. They love America. You would too, if it were your personal cash cow. They
simply have contempt for everyone in America. And they play their base worse than anyone else. They may have my money, but at least, I got to keep my brain, my heart and my soul. And my spouse and son got to keep theirs. Look at them (say, Palin and McCain) and their spouses and kids and be grateful, grateful, grateful.

Edited on Wed Aug-19-09 03:06 PM by LaPera
then they shouldn't be worried.

Isn't that what the republicans and Limbaugh always told Dems & liberals about BushCo's illegal domestic wiretapping & surveillance?

20. First, clean out the D of J. Then, the CIA , FBI and Homeland Security. (BTW, when are we going
to combine those three?) Then the Pentagon. Then, the rest of the bureaucracy. Then, investigate whatever you want.


It's done by every administration, but jeebus, if I were a decent Republican (oxymoron?) and I followed Bush Cheney Rice Gonzo, Yoo, Bybee Rumsfeld, etc., I would clean house. Then, I get everything wiped down Clorox and Lysol, dissolved in boiling water.

That's just common sense, ffs, not bc the Republicans are against it.


Republicans? They're against everything. Just ignore them.
