It’s unseemly for the Obama administration to posture themselves as beacons of truth, justice and morality when American drones are killing people (many women and children) and displacing thousands in Pakistan.
The ego of Obama’s knows no bounds.

Gibbs: “I think the president took swift action to change our image in the world.”
=================================
Frightening, isn’t it?

Mr. Tapper, I hope you are getting hazardous duty pay to sit in those Conferences with the “wizard of Uh’s…” Poor Robert Gibbs is excruciating to watch but the occasional questions you are able to slip in make it worth while.
Keep up the good work.

Willem, haven’t seen any posts from you in a while, but then I’ve been too busy at work to spend much time on the boards of late. So I see you are back and twisting logic and facts as unrepentant as ever. In one post, you decry the mere suggestion that there is a partisan cast to your enthusiasm for “investigating” the enhanced interrogation program of the Bush administration, and in another you have the nerve to defend, with a straight face, the renditions of the Clinton era as not really renditions but some sort of “bringing international criminals into the light.” Renditions under Bush, you claim, were evil torture by proxy but renditions by Clinton were not. Nope, no partisanship there.
You say you want to know everything that was going on, and let the chips fall where they may. Right. Like Nancy Pelosi wanting to have a truth commission but insisting, despite the evidence of others involved in the process, that she didn’t hear what she heard about the enhanced interrogation techniques and that she didn’t know what she knew about them. Sorry, but this is a sorry attempt to prolong an argument we can now put behind us, because the programs are no longer in use and have been repudiated by the current administration. Why go further and have show hearings and show trials? Why, to keep the REpublicans out of power and re-elect Democrats, of course.

Thanks to J. Tapper for his efforts on behalf of the American public.. the press is ever important in shedding light on all political meanderings… we are totally powerless without agressive reporters..

Obama’s own Director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair, said that important information was gleaned from KSM during harsh interrogation.
You’ll forgive me if I grant more credit in this argument to him and the past CIA directors than I do to you.

Then I’m sure you also agree with the rest of his statement: “The bottom line is these techniques have hurt our image around the world, the damage they have done to our interests far outweighed whatever benefit they gave us and they are not essential to our national security.”
Thank you for playing and go cry in your lonely corner

You missed the part where Congress twice refused to call waterboarding torture.

Your point is what?
You think this is a partisan issue for us? If Dems do it, it’s okay; if Reps do it, it’s not. And vice versa?
Here is something that will blow your mind: I call for investigations because I want all there is to know about this out on the table and in public, and let the chips fall where they belong. Including indictments.
