Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.

A while back I bitched and moaned about Obama‘s seeming attacks on the CIA and appointing a guy who has advocated rights moreso than security in charge. What I was getting at is it seemed he was making the huge mistake Bill Clinton made that led to 9/11. It was referred to as “the wall”. [...]
I try to come up with witty post titles to show how clever I am. However, in Eric Holder’s case this week, he’s got me. There are so many choices to pick from I get a brain freeze simply trying to pick one, or two, or three. Now, I’m not stupid, and most people [...]
Now that Eric Holder has decided to interrogate CIA staff instead of people who really do want to kill us, I just have to wonder what techniques will be deemed excessive? The agency given the responsibility of investigating interrogation techniques is the FBI. In the past, the FBI has most often found that accusations from [...]
A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]
It’s telling me that the policies of Jamie Gorelick and Bill Clinton/Janet Reno are back. That was my opinion January 5 of this year when Obama put Leon Panetta in charge of the Central Intelligence Agency. As of now, the Central Intelligence Agency will not be allowed to glean intelligence from war prisoners. The Federal [...]
Nancy Pelosi is sure of two things: No Democrat has ever done anything deceptive or the least bit beyond reproach. Ever. All Republicans and the CIA have lied to her. A lot. Which leads to the obvious conclusion one has to come to when they see headlines like this: Panetta Testified CIA Misled Congress, Dems [...]
I have bemoaned over the last few years that Nancy Pelosi had one trick, and one trick only. “Bush lied”. Insert anything else you want, it just had to be preceded with “Bush lied”. A tsunami occurs, it’s because Bush lied. Pick anything you want. Eventually it morphed into the “Republican Culture of Corruption“. It [...]
Everyone is saying this has been a near-flawless transition: It had to come some time. Despite a nearly flawless transition period of astute, substantive and widely praised cabinet appointments, the nascent Obama administration has unintentionally provoked its first controversy. Significantly, it is in the sphere of national security. I haven’t been quite as impressed. Bill [...]
People voted for “change” without ever really considering what the “change” was about. Today we got a few examples. Bill Richardson, under investigation for pay to play politics ( read taking bribes ), was nevertheless nominated to a cabinet position under Obama’s “change”. He withdrew his nomination today. There’s no change when it comes to [...]
Been reading that Obama is planning on naming Leon Panetta head of the CIA. A while back I did a series of posts on basically what happened when the security of the United States was wonked to death by people more interested in internal policies than doing what was necessary to protect us. Basically, the [...]
