Former Intelligence Committee Chairman and Director of the CIA Porter J. Goss eliminated any possibility of a serious investigation in a Washington Post <\/a>article today.<\/p>\n

Today, I am slack-jawed to read that members claim to have not understood that the techniques on which they were briefed were to actually be employed; or that specific techniques such as \u201cwaterboarding\u201d were never mentioned. It must be hard for most Americans of common sense to imagine how a member of Congress can forget being told about the interrogations of Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed. In that case, though, perhaps it is not amnesia but political expedience.<\/p>\n

Let me be clear. It is my recollection that:<\/p>\n

\u2013 The chairs and the ranking minority members of the House and Senate intelligence committees, known as the Gang of Four, were briefed that the CIA was holding and interrogating high-value terrorists.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We understood what the CIA was doing.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We gave the CIA our bipartisan support.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We gave the CIA funding to carry out its activities.<\/p>\n

\u2013 On a bipartisan basis, we asked if the CIA needed more support from Congress to carry out its mission against al-Qaeda.<\/p>\n

I do not recall a single objection from my colleagues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is so comical and demonstrates so clearly what all the howling Democrats have been doing the last couple of weeks was really about. It was not about seeking the truth or making America stronger; it was nothing more than a political witch hunt. And now it has blown up in their collective anti-American faces.<\/p>\n

There will also be no serious Congressional hearings in to this. Why?<\/p>\n

The Intelligence Committee is chaired by Sylvestre Reyes who is so stupid a congressional page has to water him twice a week and then there is Nancy Pelosi.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it, when the Speaker of the House is basically reduced to two possible defenses; either a low grade moron or a pathologic, treasonous liar; there will be no hearings.<\/p>\n

What about a Special Prosecutor?<\/p>\n

I would actually support that but it won\u2019t happen, at least not if Obama wants to pass another single piece of legislation in his only term as President.<\/p>\n

Get over it lefties. This is what happens when the amateurs and political hacks are trying to run the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
