A big shout out tonight to John O. Brennan, CIA Director!

Last edited Tue Dec 9, 2014, 10:19 PM - Edit history (1)

Thanks Director Brennan!

If you hadn't been such a stupid @#$%ing thug and totally @#$%ed with US @#$%ing senators, there's no way Feinstein would have gotten us what little accounting of your agency's horrific activities that we got today.

Hacking senators' computers and stealing files! More brazen or stupid, I can't decide.

And it seems like you had a hand in "enhanced interrogation" yourself. I pray that if moral and competent leadership is ever restored to our Executive branch of government, you are put on one of your beloved extraordinary rendition Lear jets and flown to The Hague for the type of fair trial that you love to deny to others.

Our @#$%ing country does not torture people!

No!

I see this torture report as little more than dick waving, bragging to the world of its stark lawlessness and daring anybody to do anything about it. And the solution won't come from Washington DC, either. Our corrupt leaders are all too busy with their phony "looking forward" business of spying on peaceful, law-abiding ordinary American citizens 24/7. Just like a dictatorship would do.

But we pay some assholes to do it for us...and other assholes cover it up...and still other assholes make a lot of money from it.

We outsourced it to private enterprise that has no morals to be troubled with.
