I've put this one on the back burner today, but there have been two developments in the CIA Torture Tape fracas.
First, the two co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission accused the CIA of stonewalling and obstructing the work of the Commission.
Second, Attorney General Mukasey has appointed a prosecutor to look into whether or not the CIA obstructed justice. "'The Department's National Security Division has recommended, and I have concluded, that there is a basis for initiating a criminal investigation of this matter, and I have taken steps to begin that investigation,' Mukasey said."
Once again, it's the coverup that brings the scumbags down for a little round of personal accountability.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
I wonder whether Mr Durham will be permitted to learn that instructions to destroy the tapes originated outside CIA?
ReplyDeleteAnd who will stop him? Mukasey and a beard?
A lot rests with whether Mr. Durham is a loyal party apparatchick or whether he is going to go where the facts lead him and let the chips fall where they may. But since he put a Republican governor in Federal prison, I am cautiously optimistic. Yet all Chimpy has to do is say "everything is classified" and then deny Durham clearances.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't your response imply that Mr Mukasey may in fact be a bit more honorable and devoted to the law than wee originally thought when he told Congress he had no idea whether waterboarding was illegal?
ReplyDeleteLurch, possibly, but I am not going to concede that as yet. I want to see if they have figured out a way to ensure that Durham only sees what they want him to see.
ReplyDeleteMukasey's continuing inability to call waterboarding what it is (torture) still bothers me a lot.
