CIA Director Says He Would Resign If Ordered To Resume Waterboarding
OANN ^ | July 14,2016 | By Jonathan Landay

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – CIA Director John Brennan said on Wednesday he would resign if the next president ordered his agency to resume waterboarding suspected militants, an apparent reference to comments by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump embracing the banned interrogation method.”I can say that as long as I’m director of CIA, irrespective of what the president says, I’m not going to be the director of CIA that gives that order. They’ll have to find another director,” said Brennan, who did not mention Trump by name.

Brennan, who has been director since 2013, tacked his comment to the end of his response to a question about drone strike policy after speaking at the Brookings Institution, a Washington policy institute.Brennan said previously he would refuse to resume the practice, which simulates drowning and was used by the CIA on three suspected militants detained in secret foreign prisons during President George W. Bush’s administration.

But his pledge to resign if ordered to revive waterboarding was his most emphatic affirmation of his position to date.

**** “Waterboard the former CIA Director to find out how much collusion he has had with Radical Islam in all its forms” ****

Waterboarding is overrated

Now a pair of pliers and a torch may be low tech and old fashioned... but hey it works

they’ll likely start purging anything from their office in November, won’t be anything left to see in their office when Trump takes office.

Like all the Federal Judges that Obama appointed?

The President can't fire a Federal Judge. Only Congress can impeach, convict, and remove them.

You're thinking of the US Attorneys. Trump should tell all of them he wants their resignations on inauguration day, just as Clinton did.

Maybe Brennan can be waterboarded at GITMO this time next year.

The US Marshal’s Office for the District of Columbia will be glad to escort them from their respective buildings.

“?? There is no such thing as “complete surveillance”....”

There should be. Monitor everything they do. No need to “ask” them, that was my point.

“Instead of waterboarding, use a hatchet on each knuckle of each extremity until you feel comfortable with the information provided.
Or just nuke Mecca and Medina. Take away the fifth pillar, the Hajj, and they realize Muhammad was a false prophet, then they have no religion.”

Or just invent a brain altering device that makes Muslims want to renounce their religion. Actually, that is much more practical than nuking Mecca in hopes of destroying Islam. The truest Muslims(aka ISIS) want to destroy Mecca and the Kabba stone, which they see as idolatry.

The most practical solution is to export Western Liberalism to Muslim countries... encourage abortion, gay marriage, sex before marriage, etc. The same stuff that de-fanged Christianity in the West should surely de-fang Islam in the Middle East.

They should waterboard him, and have him tell America exactly who made him say this right now, at this specific moment in time.

Well, the day Trump takes the oath of office he should kick Brennar’s okole out of there anyway.
