Shorter John Brennan: "I Apologize For Anything Bad That You Think That the CIA Did."

It's a standard Mark 1 Mod 0 political "non-apology apology", complete with blaming the media and the Senate's investigators for uncovering all of the bad shit that the CIA did and all of the lying to cover-up the bad shit that the CIA then did.

The only variation on the theme is that Brennan didn't do it on a Friday afternoon. At this point, you'd have to be a statist idiot or a right-wing Republican to swallow Brennan's bilge. Even DiFi isn't apparently buying it.

Brennan can surely get a post-retirement job at the NFL, at this rate.

(To the WaPo, the big scandal is that Panetta brought his dog to work.)
