On Tuesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee
released the 500-page executive summary of the report on the CIA’s
enhanced interrogation of terrorist detainees. Democrats, the media and
Republican Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) are using it as an opportunity to hammer the CIA and the Bush administration, while American embassies, military units and other U.S. interests are preparing for
possible reprisals. But adding further threats to Americans already in
harm’s way matters not. Beleaguered congressional Democrats are
desperate for a political boon and have turned to an old standby:
sabotaging national security and sacrificing American lives.
Since their betrayal of the Iraq war,
Democrats, particularly in the Senate, have panned the techniques used
by the CIA to garner critical information in the days following 9/11 as
“torture,” and have claimed that they yielded no useful intel. Though
the use of these techniques was long known to Democrats — with virtual
indifference toward them at the outset — many Democrats have since
claimed they were unaware of what was occurring, which explains their
lack of opposition to their government supposedly engaging in “torture.”
