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.

John Brennan will not need to resign, he will be fired during the first week of Trump’s presidency.

Oh, geez. The President doesn’t “order” waterboarding...if anything, they just say, “get information from this scum by any means!”

He's just getting ahead of the cleansing that will occur shortly after January next year.

Looks better on the resume to read that one quit out of principle, rather than having their rear end fired due to incompetence.

May your ‘resignation’ come in the form of a bullet from the hunting rifle of someone whose innocent son/daughter/spouse/family died horribly because you were too chickensh!t to extract information from the baby-raping subhumans who flew hijacked American airliners into American skyscrapers. If you don’t have the stones to do the dark deeds that come with this job so that YOUR OWN PEOPLE can sleep safely from the closest thing to demons out of hell in human shape, you shouldn’t have taken it in the first place.

Considering the amount of American arms in the hands of ISIS I would prefer he behead himself on YouTube.

If I were Trump I would call for Brennan’s resignation at the end of my inaugural address.

I then would, in the next minute, secure his office and all his papers and computers and lock him out.

I would do the same for Lynch, Johnson, Ash Carter, and Koskinen.

I’m sure I’m forgetting somebody.

Existential war for Planet Earth is at the door folks, and this clown is worried about getting some baby rapists beards wet. He is as lost as a blind dog in a meat house. As a blind Sheik. For all Sheiks are blind and they will all turn on the righteous sooner or later. Trump should give the order from the Innaugeration platform and find the next Patton to clean house.

There is no point in waterboarding. There should be complete surveillance of Islamic terrorists. No need to “extract” information. Timely bribing, thorough surveillance, and non-stop drone strikes on the leadership (anyone above the inbred canon-fodder cretins) should render any capture/extraction unnecessary.

Can’t come too soon.

His job is NOT to protect his fellow Islamic terrorists.

Jay Johnson, HNIC of DHS, is supposed to be a mooselimb too, but hard to find confrirmation.

He is married to a white Italian, no BLM women for HIM!

At least he is married to a female, most of these degenerates in DC are homosexuals.

CIA director doesn’t set national policy. Under US law, if it is in the US Army interrogation manual, it isn’t torture. And last I checked the commander in chief can tell the US Army what he specifies.

If you don’t believe me just look at women in the infantry, trannys and homos everywhere.

Time for the intelligence community to be brought to heel.

>>>Trump is not going to order any waterboarding. The is just election stuff.<<<

Nope, he will just say Enhanced Interrogation is back on the Menu along with less restrictive Rules of Engagement for our Troops on the Ground.
