[Gutfeld: The Irony of Indicting CIA Interrogators After Bin Laden's Death | Red Eye] "...[A] lot of people deserve credit for killing bin Laden -- President Obama, the Navy SEALs and our military in general, intelligence gatherers, the previous administration and many other people. But you also gotta give credit to Debra Burlingame, sister of one of the victims of 9/11, who used her chance to meet President Obama yesterday to gently prod him over the indictments of CIA interrogators. Remember, CIA Director Leon Panetta admits that the initial info that led to finding bin Laden came, in part, from "enhanced interrogation techniques" used on detainees. So why then, the prosecution? Well, Debra noted the irony, and asked the president to press Erik Holder to end them. Obama said he wouldn't...To me, prosecuting CIA agents after bin Laden's death is like the Packers trading Aaron Rodgers to the Panthers after winning the Super Bowl. That's not exactly like going to prison, but it is the Panthers. (And yes, I made a sports metaphor. I do know my baseball after all...)

What should the administration do at this point? They are on the record opposing: black sites, rendition, enhanced interrogation techniques, Gitmo, etc. Should they be prosecuting these CIA agents?

 

Response to comment [from an atheist]:  "...The only realistic solution is deep systemic change, c'est-à-dire complete and total uprooting of the Imperial Regime."

 

Thanks for playing.
