Obviously neither Boni nor Jones know anything about the CIA. Jones has actually chosen to attack as “naive” or potentially “disloyal” someone who worked for the CIA and the military for 42 years. A couple of “chicken-spooks” seems a suitable description of these fatuous gentlemen.

Torture is illegal. As apologists for torture, trembling cowards like these chicken- spooks would be perfectly at home with the North Koreans, the KGB, the Nazis, you name it. Sucking up to power and pleading with the Kremlin to protect them. But torture is not only a disgusting crime whose perpetrators should be cast into dungeons for the rest of their unnatural lives. It’s also counterproductive, unless your objective is extract false information in pursuit of a hidden objective — such as launching a war of aggression against an oil rich country.

The greatest threat to our “freedom” and “way of life” is not the bedraggled fundamentalists of Tora Bora but neo-crypto Nazis like Cheney and Rumsfeld and their gullible supporters on Main Street. Are you really scared, Bill? How about you, Don? Then burrow into your holes like Cheney. Don’t try to transform your own damned cowardice and gullibility into an excuse to undermine my freedom. And by the way — got any kids? Well, they’re worth neither more nor less than the thousands of children we have slaughtered in Iraq and Afghanistan. Payback is going to be a bitch. Gone are the days when we can kill millions (as in Indochina) without reprisal. Easily manipulated cowards like you are a far greater threat to our country than a stadium full of Bin Ladens. Grow up, boys. The days of complete impunity for our outlandish crimes is over.

I agree with Mr. Jones. Melvin Goodman’s suggestion that the nation has benefitted from the efforts of the ACLU and his dismissal of the immense contribution of the CIA to our national security on a daily basis betray ignorance, naivete or a hidden agenda that seeks to undermine the effectiveness of the agency. Two things are clear: Goodman lacks the tools of serious journalist, and the Obama administration is populated by rank amateurs with no clue about what it takes to protect this country.

We would be far better off if serious journalists asked why the Obama Administration has failed to appoint people to key positions that require senate oversight (i.e., Deputy Secretary for TSA, Armed Services Secretary) and instead, has appointed a ridiculous number of non-constitutional “czars” outside of senatorial oversight. We would also be better off if “serious” journalists investigated the use of a government contractor to contact people concerning healthcare reform, in blatant violation of the law.

Barrack Obama has no chance of being winning a second term in 2012. We are six months into his first and only term, and there already a number of issues that the next administration could appoint a special prosecutor to investigate. Attorney General Holder and the lunatic left have signed, sealed and delivered future prosecution at the highest levels of the Obama Administration.
