An Interrogator Breaks His Silence (Downloadable Report)
Weekly Standard ^ | 12-9-2014 | STEPHEN F. HAYES

Posted on 12/09/2014 9:10:39 PM PST by Citizen Zed

What follows is the document written by Jason Beale -- a pseudonym for a longtime U.S. military and intelligence interrogator with extensive knowledge of the enhanced interrogation techniques used by the CIA on some high-value detainees. Those techniques are scrutinized a forthcoming report, scheduled to be released today, prepared by the Democratic staff of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Beale would not confirm to THE WEEKLY STANDARD that he worked in that program, but others with knowledge of the program and its personnel tell TWS that he served as a senior interrogator beginning in 2004.

I’m sure our allies in the intelligence world will never trust us again..

Obama has done his very best to get the rest of the world to hate and distrust us, I think this will be the last straw.

Now we are completely isolated.

“Now we are completely isolated.”

Nah. The muzzies and the throngs crossing the southern border and the Fergeson malcontents are all coming to help Obola. No worries. It’s all good.

“Obama has done his very best to get the rest of the world to hate and distrust us...”

:::::::::

What is tragic to America is that still a good portion of the electorate does not realize the MASSIVE damage that Obama and his complicit America-hating supporters have done to this country from day one of his occupancy and pestilence in our Oval Office. A tolerated atrocity beyond belief.

It’s not just Obama and this Administration...it’s our Congressional Representatives where there’s no action at all...just words.

I so fear for this nation of ours...it’s slipping right through our fingers and seems none willing with enough power to stop it...and BO still has time to do a whole lot more..and he knows it.

Times like these are when I’m glad I’m old and, hopefully, won’t be around to see the final demise of the America I was raised in. An America that was proud of it’s accomplishment, proud that it was able to control world events, proud to be declare to anybody that asked “I’m an American”.

Days long gone.

I know how you feel. I'm old too.

But I have a teenaged daughter, and my heart breaks thinking of the America that she will live in.

No, no ... I’m old, my son is closing 40 at a horrific rate. I understand your dilemma, however, If my son was only a teen my attitude would probably be different.

Oh, they will when the next soldier, missionary, medical worker, journalist, tourists, businessman, or embassy employee is kidnapped, publicly tortured and beheaded in honor of Di Fi’s seditious mea culpa

What a terrific- and heartbreaking- article

This stands out:

” This, my friends, is why we kill people with drones. We have nowhere to hold them, no way to compel them to give up information, and no desire to repeatedly highlight our newfound inadequacies by capturing high value terrorists and quite publicly failing to obtain any information from them. So we kill them, and their secrets die with them.”

remembering that our small letter potus has boasted of his personal involvement in selecting humans for drone assassination

Di Fi. Pelosi. Biden. What despicable idiots.
