The first part of this video is a clip with ex-CIA interrogator John Kiriakou who now considers waterboarding torture. The second clip is from Dana Perino's White House Press Briefing on 12/11/07 in which she was asked about Kiriakou's characterization.

1. The contempt for the public is astonishing n/t

2. I want to shake

the shit out of that young CIA person. We don't need a debate. Waterboarding is torture which is a war crime. Always has been. Period. End of story.

3. Maybe we should be thanking this guy, but here we have the strong

CIA pussy footing around.

No comment on the pathetic White House and their spokespeople - other than pathetic.

4. I read that the CIA

is ok with him being out there. I think they are going for the juglar in this admin while trying to soften their role in the atrocities. The statements of how it seemed ok then when everyone was afraid but now we know it was wrong, etc.
