Anyone recall this post from the TPM Cafe days?

Cooked Intel & Torture Abuse: So the 'Stovepipe' Stops Where?

I'm simply dredging up the past to help connect it to the current ongoing yammering about the latest report from the Senate...

Good point.

Caught a little of the NPR Diane Rehm show on the CIA report. She had former 30 year lawyer John Rizzo on for the CIA side, when asked did 'enhanced interrogation' work he said:

'A guy he knew in the program thought it did'. Diane was OK with that. He regretted that he couldn't testify about that bit of hearsay to clear his buddies....these guys always have great imaginations...I am still waiting for Rand Pauls imagined Navy Ebola Plague Ships.

What a farce is the rationalization that we were suddenly in the dire situation. The fact is that CIA/Bush/Cheney didn't pick up on the imminent danger---which is what caused the dire situation.

The premise that something worse might happen next doesn't hold up. Why would a terrorist use his lesser weapon first, knowing we'd then be on high alert for any follow-on.

You mean stuff like this from the just created ciasavedlives.com:

certain knowledge that bin Laden had met with Pakistani nuclear scientists

we had hard evidence that al Qaida was trying to manufacture anthrax.

disruption of terrorist plots that saved thousands of American and allied lives.

didn't scare the Beejesus out of Poland and persuade compliance with the humble heroes of the CIA? Hey, and if the website address says they saved lives it must be true right? It's not ciastucktubesupbungholes.com folks...take notice.

I also like the way Republicans say the Majority Report is "tainted" (see cia website above and AEI neocon D. Pletka, A Document Too Tainted to Matter).....because no CIA were spoken to or interviewed!!!

Why not let CIA guys tell their side, right? ...THEY ALREADY are on record as bald faced liars...exposing those on record lies was THE POINT of the report. How dumb do they think Americans are? OK...yeah...they are probably right on that one.

Does anyone recall this?

. . .

Now we know why...

(Reuters) - Poland threatened to halt the transfer of al Qaeda suspects to a secret CIA jail on its soil 11 years ago, but became more "flexible" after the Central Intelligence Agency gave it a large sum of money, according to a U.S. Senate report.

The torture rebuttal of 3 CIA Directors?

Maybe they've all been subjected to hourly doses of Rectal Feedings so as to brainwash them into spewing the crap found in those rebuttals.

The torture rebuttal of 3 CIA Directors.

It is another remarkable coincidence in American history that the Bush administration and the CIA claim they had no inkling whatsoever of the massive 9/11 attack, but, armed with 'enhanced interrogation' they became 100% effective in 'keeping us safe' in subsequent years.

This means our intelligence services underwent some incredible improvement in terror detection almost overnight (excepting of course the anthrax attacks (which Bush and Co. anticipated and started themselves on CIPRO before the first letter was mailed,-10 years later blamed on a dead American defense worker - not Saddam as was bellicosely implied by Bush at the time) and masterfully tortured people to be able to stop any and all al Qaeda threats to the Homeland.

Not even a terror-cell-of-one-with a gun inflicted a single death in America. Just the one big one on 9/11, which 'changed everything'.

A miracle.....or......well...there may be other explanations....
