Even The FBI Saw The CIA Acts As Torture

So it seems that even the FBI thought the CIA was way out of line in their torture of suspects during interrogation. Things were so bad that FBI Director Robert S. Mueller ordered agents to withdraw from the interrogations. One of the agents threatened to arrest the CIA operatives for illegal activities.

It’s pretty bad when our own law enforcement folks find that the activities of the CIA are so abhorrent that they cannot stand by and watch anymore. Personally I wish they had arrested them in order to bring this to a head before now. If they had, we would not be having the investigation of why the CIA destroyed tapes of the interrogations, they would already be on trial and the people authorizing the torture would be out of jobs.

Now we get to wade through months of hearings and tap dancing by Bush and his henchmen as they try to explain away the torture. The way I look at it is, if it was bad enough for the FBI to seek intervention, it’s probably pretty bad!
