WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 — The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, delivered a blistering indictment today of the Central Intelligence Agency’s decision to destroy video footage of harsh interrogations of Al Qaeda detainees, just hours before the C.I.A. director was due before a Senate panel to explain the episode."It was clear to me how much of a coward Harry Reid is when he stood on
the floor of the Senate and declared the war in Iraq to be "lost." I
felt he should have been ashamed of himself for saying such a thing
when American troops are still over there fighting, but perhaps that
was just one of his laughable political opinions and not political
pandering as I first hypothesized. This most recent example of
slapstick, however, really takes the cake. Not only is he undermining
an agency who holds the responsibility of keeping this country safe,
but he displays an unrivaled sense of hypocrisy when he goes on to say
that the CIA is damaging America's "moral authority." This from a guy
who supports a
woman's "right" to murder.
Personally,
I wouldn't feel comfortable using techniques that are obviously
torture, but then again I'm not someone people depend upon to keep this
nation safe. Therefore, I don't know what I would do if I felt detainee
X was withholding information.
Do you?
The people of
Nevada should vote that little wimp out of office the next time he's up
for reelection. He's as much of a liar as he is a wimp. He and
Pelosi swore up and down they would end the war in Iraq and were "ready to lead. "About the only thing Reid and
Pelosi are ready for is job searching.
