Knowing that her days as chairman (chairperson?) of the Senate Intelligence Committee were numbered, California Democrat Dianne Feinstein rushed to release a report on what she sees as illegal activities by the CIA. She claims that Bush administration employees and contractors engaged in torture in the days following 911.
The activities were deemed legal at the time, but her report has already generated calls for several officials from that era to be tried as war criminals in the World Court. Wow, that really helps enhance the image of the good old USA!
As numerous veterans have pointed out, nothing was done to any of the Al Qaeda terrorists that wasn’t done to hundreds of US servicemen in SERE training, but Feinstein is quick to label it as torture.
To quote Hillary Clinton (while testifying about Benghazi) “What difference does it make?”
As far as I’m concerned, I don’t believe their methods constituted torture, but I really don’t care if they did. They could have set the bastards on fire if it accomplished the goal of saving additional American lives.
