Just disgraceful:
Under questioning from Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the top Republican on the judiciary panel, about why special interrogators weren’t used (on the Christmas bomber) Mr. Mueller said: “There was no time to get a follow-up group in there. If one had had the opportunity over a period of time, we may well have had a specialized group do the interrogation.”…
…A task force last summer laid out plans for the new interrogation teams, but none yet exist, administration officials said. The FBI is trying to create the teams with assistance from the Pentagon and intelligence agencies, officials said Wednesday.
Of course, given this is the MSM reporting, the actual news waits for the last paragraph: Mueller can say all he wants that we should have got a team up there, but the fact is we don’t have a team to send. Obama dismantled the Bush Administration interrogation regime, and has not replaced it! We’re at war with bloodthirsty killers and we have no regular method of obtaining information via high value captives. This is dereliction of duty.
Because some pinhead liberals decided that waterboarding is torture, the lives of our soldiers and our fellow citizens are placed at risk. This war, not a parlor game – and, darn it all, Obama had better wake up to his responsibilities.
