Paying No Attention to the Real Issues…

Another YGTBSM Moment…


Via Fox News, we have the DOJ yet again going after CIA agents for two deaths that occurred during interrogations…

The Justice Department is moving forward with criminal investigations relating to CIA interrogations of two detainees who died in the agency’s custody. 

The decision, announced Thursday by Attorney General Eric Holder, is the result of a nearly two-year preliminary review into the Bush-era interrogations by prosecutor John Durham. Though the secretive probe has drawn fierce criticism from Republicans since it began, Holder reiterated Thursday that he will not abandon it. 



In a statement, Holder said the review looked mostly at “whether any unauthorized interrogation techniques were used by CIA interrogators, and if so, whether such techniques could constitute violations of the torture statute or any other applicable statute.”

Outgoing CIA Director Leon Panetta noted in a statement that, of the two cases singled out for investigation Thursday, both “were previously reviewed by career federal prosecutors who subsequently declined prosecution.”   Still, he said “no decision” has been made about bringing criminal charges and pledged CIA cooperation. 

(bold is mine)


Now this is truly setting a bad precedent, going after a previous administration’s personnel, who at the time were “told” what they were doing was legal.  What happens if the next administration decides to do this in a couple of years???

Meanwhile we have Gunwalker and ATF retaliation against an agent (Vince Cefalu) for whistleblowing on Fast and Furious; ICE not processing illegals for deportation and a new “Muslim Civil Rights outreach“;  Executive Order 13575 being signed out; riots up and down the East Coast, HERE, HERE and HERE; in Chicago (and maybe in Peoria depending on whom you believe)…

Ya think maybe, just maybe DOJ could actually spend some precious time working on things that actually concern most Americans… Or maybe not, since that doesn’t seem to be this administration’s agenda…

Sigh…

Anyway, I hope all of you enjoy your 4th of July Weekend and fly your flags proudly (while we still can)!!!

And I’ll leave you with this, its now official conclusive evidence that Osama Bin Laden is dead.



This week he registered to vote as a Democrat in Chicago…

  1. NFO: A rational individual would think that the DOJ would work on issues that are truly important and are really affecting us!

    Happy Independence Day!

  2. If I could speak about similar outrages that I’ve seen, I would. But I can’t so I won’t.

    However, the song remains the same and sometimes all you can feel is shame for living in the same country as Obama, Holder, Harry Reid, etc.

  3. If they didn’t do stuff like this they wouldn’t have anything to do because Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe can’t handle real work!
