Killing children is part of the American ideal. It's who we are, says Obama.
On behalf of the democrats on the SSIC Sen. Dianne Feinstein released a report describing what she called "torture." There has been much harrumphing about what is and what is not consistent with American values and what we stand for as Americans.
Torture is "contrary to our values" says Barack Obama:
President Obama said Tuesday he hopes a Senate report detailing “troubling” CIA interrogation practices will help the U.S. prevent actions “contrary to our values” in the future.“One of the strengths that makes America exceptional is our willingness to openly confront our past, face our imperfections, make changes and do better,” the president said in a statement issued shortly after the release of the report.
He stated:
That is why I unequivocally banned torture when I took office, because one of our most effective tools in fighting terrorism and keeping Americans safe is staying true to our ideals at home and abroad.
It was the dog whistle that summoned the left to bark its outrage in concert.
Osama Bin Laden could have been captured alive, but they just killed him outright. Ever wonder why? Barack Obama has pursued a course that frees him from worrying about the treatment of detainees. He doesn't capture any, he just kills them. It's much tidier and voters don't seem to mind. Then again, there is no gaining any intelligence information from them either. There'll be no slapping them in the face, no speaking to them rudely and no forcing them to listen to AC/DC. Much better, unless you're a child.
You can't help but wonder why the left is so fired up about speaking rudely to genuinely bad people and not other US actions- such as burning and dismembering of children in Obama drone strikes.

The Obama regime claims its drone strikes have been subject to rigorous review:
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Monday offered its first extensive explanation of how American officials decide when to use drones to kill suspected terrorists — a tactic that the government often treats as a classified secret even though it is widely known around the world.“Yes, in full accordance with the law — and in order to prevent terrorist attacks on the United States and to save American lives — the United States government conducts targeted strikes against specific Al Qaeda terrorists, sometimes using remotely piloted aircraft, often referred to publicly as drones,” John O. Brennan, President Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser, said before the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
Have a look at the effects of death from the sky on children:

Like he knows what it is to be an american.
Kenyan.
The left will ALWAYS excuse those cultures which oppose Christian/Western culture.
Grow up, Feinstein. The torture we engaged in is not like Nazi Germany or Japan where teeth were pulled and digits cut off. From what I’ve read, water-boarding creates the sensation and expectation of death, but without actually causing it. It does not cause permanent damage like missing teeth and fingers do. If the goal is to protect the American people from thugs who blow up buildings, mutilate and kill their young, and crash planes into buildings, I have no problem if they think they are drowning as long as it leads to useful intel that can be used to stop them. The political correctness that engulfs this country is ultimately going to destroy this Republic and idiots like Feinstein, Reid, Obozo, and many others is simply hastening the process.
Funny how beasts like Feinstein would probably have no problem torturing Christians and “Right Wing Extremists” if given the power.
Or when Bill Clinton authorized Rendition in the 1990’s. That was A-OK with her then.
Exactly!
Di Fi is either lying about what she knew and when she knew it, or she is too weak and stupid to have responsibilty for overseeing an agency that went rogue under her pointy nose
So- which is it?
I don’t think she’s stupid, but she is more than capable of lying to keep her job.
The next report from democrats will say calling a terrorist a terrorist is a form of microagression and microtorture.
Speaking of blowing up children, was Dianne Feinstein in office, when the building with the kids in it was burned in Waco, TX???
If so, what did she say, then?
They have lots of experience doing that... hideous and legal abortion.
