“This report tells a story of which no American is proud.” Unnamed, Presumably Now Mortified, US State Department Employee Indeed, the faceless employee was referring to the story of the CIA’s systematic use of torture to interrogate prisoners, but he could well be referring to his own story today. Someone in the White House emailed his Talking Points to the Associated Press, which wasted no time in publishing them with commentary. I suppose this is a rare example of humility coming before a fall. According to the AP, the email was not a leak but an accident; it is then, an accidental leak, but nonetheless a leak. The Talking Points are meant as a response to the soon-to-be-released Senate report on their investigation into the subject. That report, recall, is apparently already in the hands of the CIA, although it has not yet been released. ....
Clear about is that he does not believe that the use of these enhanced interrogation techniques is justified. he does not believe that makes us safer. he does not believe that s in the core of the national security interest. he believes regardless of what the answer to that question is, that the use of these techniques was not worth it because of the harm that was done to our national values and the sense of what it is that we believe in as americans. so they welcome it, the white house does, but people could get killed. so they re still going to release it. senator rockefeller said in 2003, he s on the intel committee. he s in safekeeping, khalid sheikh mohammed, under american protection. he ll be grilled by us. i m sure we ll be very, very tough with him, he said with a smile. as did senator feinstein of the they were all read into this, as ....
Intelligence. so the democrats are coming out with this at 11:00 o clock. the republican a version. democrats are doing this because it s all political, isn t it? well, as you know, chairman feinstein is about to lose her chairmanship. and before she walks out door, she s determined to throw this out the door. what country is going to help us or what agent will push the limit because they don t want to get in trouble? you have to come back after you read this report. i want to get your take. thank you for joining us this morning. absolutely. thank you. coming up on this tuesday, does this sound familiar? i pledge allegiance to i wrap myself in the flag of the united states against anything unamerican and to the republicans nor which it stands. that s just part of the distorted pledge of allegiance one teacher is forcing his students to recite. yes, we said the teacher at a university. that story coming up. and then they re incredible men like this. how are you? ....
well, apparently from all the leaks that the committee staff has been sprinkling over the last several months, it is going to conclude that the c.i.a., including myself, i assume, misled congress, the white house, the justice department, the american people, lord knows who else. it s absolutely unfair and preposterous. and as i just told you, brian, i and several others deeply involved in this program not only were never interviewed, but the chairman feinstein a few weeks ago denied our request to at least as a matter of courtesy, see this thing before the rest of the world does. sure. we should also point out that when things are happening and, you know, the president of the united states has said, let s go and do whatever it takes to stop and make sure that this doesn t happen again, another 9-11, you pulled out all the stops. but you did everything legally. waterboarding at that point, and it did happen to three people, was completely legal and democrats knew about it, but now t ....
That these computers would be stand alone or walled off or that langley would not be able to access them. and the cia, in the letter from john brennan back to dianne feinstein in january, was that they are cia computers and they had every right to search them if they thought there was a breach. that s right. there s the very concrete issue here about whose network it was, who had access to that network, who was permitted to have access to that network. quite clearly in chairman feinstein s eyes, not knowing what the agreement was. that was just like a senate office building. obviously the cia wouldn t go look at those computers. clearly from john brennan s letter to chairman feinstein, this was a cia network with an enclave used by the senate, but for security reasons, they could still go in and review who had access, what kind of access they had, whether or not there was an information breach. so that s the practical concrete question. the political issue is much tougher. because th ....
