Hands Off the CIA
I can’t say how important it is for us to SUPPORT and stand behind our foreign intelligence services. Seriously Obama you have to watch this, this is the same kind of crap that that screwed up the CIA in the past.
Yes the CIA has a very “colorful” past and it’s when we shy away from that and try to keep a muzzle on the CIA that things get seriously MESSED UP.
Look at past CIA directors like Turner (under Carter) who emphasized basically ONLY signals intelligence and intercepts and satellites… no emphasis on human intelligence gathering, no emphasis on developing real living breathing spies… no emphasis on human operation, an aversion to getting your hands dirty, not wanting to get in trouble, not taking risks.
Another good example, Woolsey (under Clinton) in his 2 years of tenure, i don’t think he ever met with Clinton ONCE and there was the same aversion to risk, playing hands off, being way too conservative—in the sense that the emphasis was almost totally on desk jockeys and research, analysis but NOT in human intelligence, interrogation, espionage…
all the dirty jobs that carry the risk of being found out...but those are the kinds of jobs that get things DONE and KILL America’s enemies BEFORE they kill Americans.
President Obama, Eric Holder, Speaker Pelosi, with their little witch hunts trying to blame CIA agents who DID THEIR JOBS… did what they had to do to PROTECT American national security interests ( principles like “we don’t waterboard people” be damned )
All these do is SCARE the agents, the CAREER intelligence agents, who are the most skilled and are the only people trained to do what has to be done, the dirty work that keeps us warm and cozy and ALIVE back home. It makes them afraid to do their jobs, not wanting to risk their careers and their livelihoods if they think there is a chance they will be charged or investigated and scapegoated for it.
And that leads to weakness and intelligence failures that result in dead Americans.
President Obama, support our CIA and foreign intelligence services, let them do their jobs, let them get their hands dirty without fear of reprisal from the very government they work to protect… or you WILL see innocent civilians KILLED under your watch. You have been warned.
This Tirade in Response to:
A CIA officer who allegedly used a gun to intimidate a captured al-Qaeda suspect was formally disciplined…
...The CIA officer eventually resigned, two former agency officials confirmed Saturday.

Granted, Holder rightly stated that it’s his job to “follow the law.” The problem for the administration is that it’s the president’s job to lead—forward, not backward. And now that Holder has asked a career prosecutor to examine the CIA interrogations, it’s possible he could get a recommendation for criminal prosecutions for CIA agents.
That might please liberals, but that’s about it. And today, former Vice President Dick Cheney made it clear where he stands (as if we didn’t know). “These people deserve our gratitude,” he said. “They do not deserve to be the targets of political investigations or prosecutions.”

Deadly Day in Baghdad
http://alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/LJ637496.htm
From Reuters:
BAGHDAD, Aug 19 (Reuters) - A series of blasts in Baghdad killed 95 people and wounded 536 in Iraq’s bloodiest day this year, prompting a rare admission of culpability from Iraqi security forces left to cope without U.S. help.
At least six blasts struck near government ministries and other targets at the heart of Iraq’s Shi’ite-led administration, weeks after U.S. combat troops withdrew from urban centres in June, thrusting Iraq’s security forces into the lead role.
“This operation shows negligence, and is considered a security breach for which Iraqi forces must take most of the blame,” Major General Qassim al-Moussawi, Baghdad’s security spokesman, told Iraqiya state TV.
The government said this month that most of the city’s blast walls would be removed within 40 days, a sign of confidence in its security forces after U.S. combat troops withdrew from urban centres in June, and before elections due in January.
Wednesday’s blasts were a rare example of a coordinated attack on heavily guarded targets.

Standish Can’t Get Prisoners from California!
Bad news today for residents of Standish, Mich. especially those who work in the prison. It looks like the plan to bring prisoners over from the California correctional system has died due to budget shortfalls.
California just does not have the money to pay Michigan to house it’s criminals. So now we are one step closer to bringing GITMO to Michigan, as the residents of Standish will now be more desperate to find SOME use for the facility.
Although it’s not clear that keeping Standish prison open by taking on GITMO prisoners would even result in the residents of that town keeping their jobs. Perhaps a portion of it’s current employees could stay but the facility would most likely be run by federal employees and military personnel.
Here is the rest from the Detroit Free Press:
LANSING—California won’t be sending its state prisoners to fill the maximum security prison in Standish, Gov. Jennifer Granholm said today.

Granholm said she was notified by California officials Monday night that they would not agree to pay Michigan to house its inmates because of that state’s budget constraints.
“I was very disappointed; the discussions we had were very constructive,” Granholm said at a news conference where she announced more commercial development tax breaks around the state. “I believe we will find another use for that facility, and keep those jobs in the area.”
While Granholm had negotiated with California for its prisoners as a way to keep open the Standish facility — which she has ordered closed as a cost-cutting measure — the federal government has eyed the prison as a possible detention center for Guantanamo Bay prisoners captured in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Granholm said while that remains a possibility, President Barack Obama would not force it on any state that objects.

Chavez: U.S. Troops Responsible for Taking out Zeleya in Honduras
I know that Obama won’t do anything about this or defend our troops. But he should.
I think this deserves a few Tomahawk missiles, honest.
From Bloomberg.com
Zelaya told Chavez that when he was awakened by armed Honduran troops on June 28 he was taken to the U.S. military base in Honduras and that U.S. generals made the decision to send him to Costa Rica, Chavez said today.
U.S. President Barack Obama doesn’t understand what is happening in the region, Chavez said, and should close military bases in Honduras and Guantanamo, Cuba.
“I think Obama is lost, he’s confused,” he said on his weekly television program. “We’re not asking him to intervene in Honduras. To the contrary, we’re asking him to take the empire’s hands off of Honduras and its claws out of Latin America.”
