The CIA destroyed evidence (alledgedly) on how they interrogated criminals / detainees. The Senate wants us to play nice.

I hate to tell everyone but we're at war. There are those who want to destroy us...

Should we be nice and play fair with people who want to destroy our country?

Is everything our CIA does the business of everyone in America and the world?

You're not the only one who cares, it's just not surprising at all. The CIA has been secretive and destroying evidence for many many years. Nothing is surprising anymore. I think Washington needs a good house cleaning period

Pretty sure its S.O.P. for every intellegence service in the world.
And no the average citizen does not need to know every detail of our covert ops. Thats why its best not to tell a politician any secrets. It becomes a foot race to the media to see who can spill their guts first.

Actually, that is my point. The JOB of the Central Intelligence Agency has to be secretive...

I've been listening to the debate on this by the Senate about 2005 detainee records ... Democrats in the Senate believe that all of these records are to be public record... The rest of the world is watching all of this on the news.

Politicians are so anxious to get on television to expose and debate these things that they've lost sight of what matters...

So what if they did it? Is it the right of the American public to know every little detail of how war criminals and detainees are interrogated in our country?

It's a nice spin, but a lie is still a lie. Since no one in the CIA has been charged with any crime there is no "evidence" to be destroyed. A charge of some crime must come first, or there can be no "evidence", and there clearly has not been any criminal charges levied.

The CIA routinely destroys documents, video tapes, and other recordings all the time. But suddenly it becomes "evidence" when it pertains to terrorist interviews? It would be funny if it wasn't so politically transparent and inane.

These Senators are a bunch of chest-thumping blowhard fools! Their insane devotion to Political Correctness and all this "play nice with the terrorists" MOD CUT will only succeed in getting us all killed!

As Vietnam clearly showed us, politicians have NO business running a war. Just sit down, let the troops/spies/generals do their job, and shut the h#ll up!!!

Far from it, friend. But of course you wouldn't know that listening to all the clueless, chattering "Useful Idiots" in the Old Media.
