The Democratic assault on the CIA’s tough interrogation tactics against al Qaeda and other terrorists after 9/11 was pushed Wednesday to a new level when a top senator accusing the Bush White House of playing a role in the destruction of video evidence of “torture.”

Sen. Carl Levin, the retiring chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said it “reminds me of Watergate.”

The Michigan senator was referring to a section of the Democratic report on the CIA tactics released Tuesday that noted the destruction of videos the day after his proposal to establish an independent commission to probe the interrogations and allegations of abuse fell a dozen votes short in a Senate vote November 8, 2005.

Thanks for the ping; post. The I.R.S. (Internal Revenue for Socialists) scandal alone should send the POS to prison.

Here’s something 18T times larger…

YOU DID build that, marxist Karl. Socialism IS legal plunder (Bastiat). All of YOUR assets should be seized before you are sent straight to hell.

Hopefully, 2016 will be a repeat of 1980.

That would be nice, but I haven’t seen anyone that can hold a candle to Ronald Reagan. He was able to get through to Americans in spite of the biased press.

Of course, the Rockefeller wing of the party hated him and were embarrassed by him, and set about undoing his good work, and making sure to block any conservative from ever getting the nomination again, even if their actions help elect a Democrat.

Yeh, every time the one does something that costs innocent lives, all you hear is crickets. At least no one died in the Watergate mess.

Just like the Imperial Presidency. Nixon couldn’t hold a candle to Obama in that regard.
