- Word is there are some in Washington who’d like to sign up for it
- French of course are in on the act
Nevertheless Diane Feinstein has had a good day — that is what Democrats call “earned media” that denigrates the country world wide without rebuttal.
Feinsteins’ irresponsible release of a one-sided report from the Democratic staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee, not a voted on document of the committee, is getting worldwide attention as definitive. It is not. Consider this Wall Street Journal article by former CIA Directors George J. Tenet, Porter J. Goss and Michael V. Hayden (a retired Air Force general), and former CIA Deputy Directors John E. McLaughlin, Albert M. Calland (a retired Navy vice admiral) and Stephen R. Kappes. The authors service in the CIA transcend Republican and Democrat Presidents including Obama. Interrogations Saved Lives
The French news agency AFP filed this article, CIA Torture Sparks World Outrage, Demands for Justice. It summarizing Feinstein’s committee findings, to wit: America is an evil empire. Just glancing at it will allow you to get the picture. The article was picked up just about everywhere. Arab Today – Africa – Australia – Yahoo (wherever that is) and USA.

Wearing his “I can’t breathe” T-shirt and appearing with his hands raised, chanting “Don’t shoot”, Ayotollah Khameini “took to Twitter to declare the United States a symbol of tyranny against humanity not just in the CIA torture program but in domestic law enforcement” as well.
Meanwhile, Veritas hasn’t confirmed it yet but we understand that Diane Feinstein has been awarded an honorary Imam status and the Farsi name , Muhammed Ben Ali Feinstein bin California bestowed upon her. Feinstein has also been named “Person of the Year” by ISIS’s leading magazine “Terrorist Times”.
Hats off to our favorite octogenarian! You rock, girl!
Just wondering —
Has anybody asked LeBron James, for real, about his views on CIA tactics?
Al Qaeda Abandons Beheadings as they’re ‘Bad PR’
Via Breitbart :
Terror group Al-Qaeda has finally found the limit of its own brutality in observing ultra-violent spin-off the Islamic State, and has banned it’s own followers from beheading captives in a statement from a senior cleric of the group as part of a battle for Islamic “hearts and minds”.
Although Al-Qaeda has made efforts in past months to imitate the more sophisticated propaganda films produced by the Islamic State, it remains keen to stand apart from its more violent progeny, and to attract back fighters who have defected, of which the apparent ban on beheading is part.
Who could possibly have seen this coming?! via CNS
U.N. Calls for CIA ‘Torture’ Trials, CAIR Demands ‘Accountability’
(CNSNews.com) – A United Nations human rights official is calling for individuals who carried out, planned or authorized abusive practices against al-Qaeda detainees in the aftermath of 9/11 to be put on trial, saying the U.S. was obliged under international law “to bring those responsible to justice.”
He also warned Tuesday that perpetrators could be prosecuted anywhere in the world, noting that “torture is a crime of universal jurisdiction.”
Meanwhile the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the Senate Intelligence Committee’s release of a declassified portion of a report on CIA interrogation and detention programs was insufficient, calling for the full 6,000 page report to be released, and for “accountability” for those who overstepped the mark.
In a statement issued in Geneva, Ben Emmerson, the U.N.’s “special rapporteur on counter-terrorism and human rights,” called the conduct covered by the committee report a “criminal conspiracy.”
In his benevolence Obama has decided not to prosecute.

“It is shocking … when you read this, if you envision Nazis doing this, and I even hate to say this, if you envision the Khmer Rouge doing this … you can imagine it,” Cooper said Tuesday on “Anderson Cooper 360.” “It’s not that far removed from stuff they [Nazis] were doing.”
Hmm… Anderson did not specifically mention his thoughts on “Rectal Rehydration”.
