Once again it seems that the Democrats are going to go after the CIA even though they got hit in the snot locker the last time they did this. I find this idea that the CIA should be treated like criminals for being protective of their intelligence secrets. Particularly since they are after all an intelligence agency where need to know actually is not only a good idea, but saves the lives of their operatives as well.

It also appears that even when the CIA does give intelligence briefings they are treated like thieves, liars, and cheats also. For example we all know that the CIA gave intelligence briefings on the subject of water boarding and other harsh interrogation techniques to the appropriate intelligence committees in both houses of congress. We also know who got these briefings too.

Of course we all know ha happened then Nancy “Pinocchio” Pelosi stood right up and lied through her teeth stating that she was never briefed on these techniques and accused the CIA of lying to her. Leon Panetta quickly produces evidence showing Pelosi got those briefings and she still denies any memory of the briefings and continues to attack the CIA rather than just say she must have forgotten or even apologize and put it behind her.

There was also the case of congress going after the CIA and Dick Cheney too. Congress apparently was not very happy about the idea that they would attack the intelligence agency and Dick Cheney would promptly jump to their defense and speak publicly about the CIA and its methods of operation where intelligence gathering techniques were applied. Dick Cheney even gave an opposing speech on the topic right after President Obama spoke on the topic and blew Obama’s speech right out of the water.

Well now congress is going to go after the CIA again for keeping information out of their hands. This concerns a CIA program that was discussed and researched by the agency with regard to removing high value Al Qaeda targets up close and personal instead of using technology such as the Predator drone. This program never even got past the R&D stage and no congressional notification was required.

However the idea of killing Al Qaeda leaders does not seem to be very palatable to those in the Democratic Party. This is the case because these Democrats who crave global acceptance, and are socially weak, anti-national defense types cannot believe that after eight years, we cannot negotiate for peace with these Islamofascists animals instead of killing them. They think this even when they are faced with incontrovertible evidence that they still want as many Americans dead as possible if not all of us.

In the immortal words of a once powerful pope during the crusades “kill them all and let God sort them out”. Where these Islamic terrorist pigs are3 concerned that is just what I believe. I also believe that agencies like the CIA, NSA, and military organizations like the JSOC do their best work when they are operating on real-time intelligence, under the mantle of secrecy, and even employing harsh interrogation techniques.

The truth of the matter is that I really don’t care at all what happens to the terrorists and if we kill them all I can sleep at night with that. I would also rather be fighting this war over in their backyard instead of ours, because I believe in better them than us. I like the idea of having intelligence and defense capabilities that scare the crap out of our enemies because they have no idea what we are up to. Unfortunately I think it is going to take another 9/11 type attack or worse on our soil to make it happen.

What is the sense of having a secret intelligence gathering agency if it is not gonna be a secret? The CIA does some of it's most important work off the radar of the general public, and even the government. Instead of trying to condemn and ultimately control what the CIA is doing, I think the government should just let them do their thing. If not 9/11 is gonna look like child's play when the terrorists really hit our country.

And on the topic of waterboarding, if that's the worst that is being done to the terrorists we catch then they should count themselves lucky. They deserve much worse. I think when it comes to interrogation of terrorist suspects it should be no holds barred. I doubt they would be so kind to an American that they capture. Honestly, what are we supposed to do? Sit them down and ask them politely to answer our questions over a cup of coffee? That's even more ludicrous than Pelosi's "phantom briefings."
