I’m still too ill and tired to write, but I just want to say that the administration needs to break up the fight between the CIA and the Senate Intelligence Committee, and they need to do it in a way that is basically taking the Senate’s side.
The reason is simple. The root of the problem here is that the Senate Intel Committee has in its possession proof that the CIA’s internal view of the torture they committed is quite different than the view the CIA presented to the committee. It’s a cover-up.
So, unless the administration wants the legal and political problems associated with a massive cover-up, they need to tell the CIA to back off.
I know it’s easy for me to make such a suggestion since I don’t have to worry about any consequences for myself, but it’s the right thing to do.
If John Brennan doesn’t like it, he can resign.
More, when I feel better.
