Amazing Administration
By Adam Tragone
Well, well, well. This Administration never ceases to amaze when it
comes to getting their stories straight.
“We had multiple series of sources that provided information with
regards to this situation…clearly some of it came from detainees [and]
they used these enhanced interrogation techniques against some of those
detainees.”
That’s our outgoing Central Intelligence Agency chief Leon Panetta
speaking to NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams regarding the
information obtained that led to the take down of Osama Bin Laden. When
Williams asked Panetta if water-boarding was part of the “enhanced
interrogation techniques,” Panetta said “that’s correct.”
Let’s go back to the videotape shall we? Joe Biden on ‘Face the Nation’
in February of 2010, when asked about water-boarding by host Bob
Schieffer, said: “Its not effective.”
President Obama in a speech at the National Archives in May of 2009: “I
categorically reject the assertion that these are the most effective
means of interrogation…”What’s more, they undermine the rule of law.
They alienate us in the world.”
Operation Neptune’s Spear was an unequivocal success on all fronts. I
just wish the Administration could be honest and admit that the
policies of the Bush administration are why we finally nailed Osama.
Also, remember when President Obama would bash those mean “battalions”
of lobbyists on the campaign trail and how he promised to end their
influence in Washington? Well, that still hasn’t happened. Audrey
Hudson has the latest from the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee
on Oversight and Investigations where the Obama administration is
ducking transparency once again. You can’t miss the story.
