CIA nominee pressed on U.S. drone policy, waterboarding
I love our Drone program! Call it judge, jury and executioner all you want. If you move to some god forsaken third world middle eastern country, join Al Queda and start threatening the U.S. you are fair game. These cowards typically scurry into the woodwork like the cockroaches they are when the Marines show up. Drones eliminate that escape route. The terrorists kill thousands of innocent people in the name of their religion. Well, just like Texas and their executions…if you plan or execute murder on the innocent..we will kill you back.
Why, oh WHY, would Obama select such an unethical man?!?
RE the drone program.
Does anyone know for certain who actually dies in these strikes?
@xyz2055 Right, and in the process kill innocent people in the name of U.S. security. But as they say, if you can’t beat them, join them.
From the article:
“Obama’s nominee for CIA director, said on Thursday he did not try to stop waterboarding, an interrogation technique that some consider torture…”
That makes about as much sense as saying, “murder, which some people consider fatal.”
Why would Obama select a man like this? Have you even read the news about Obama? He ADMITS to ordering a drone strike ON a US child because he is SUSPECTED take part in terrorist activity. Keywords: Admits – meaning that this is something he said he did, ON – meaning the drone strike was intended to kill the US child (not collateral), SUSPECTED – meaning no evidence was brought against him, just a hunch. Based on this event alone, I think I see what Obama sees in this man.
The GOP seems to have a short memory. It was THEIR boy Geo. W. who authorized water-boarding.
After listening to some of the testimony at Congressional Hearings, I would recommend that all Political Appointees be required to undergo a TransAnal Ultrasound Probe to determine where their brains really are before any appointments are made! This to also apply to anyone aspiring to a House or Senate Committee Chairmanship!
@w.burton
Obama chose this Neocon piece of trash because Obama himself is unethical. This is the biggest slap in the face Obama has given to those who voted for him.
Obama just became a traitor to the cause and to his people.
