Former Democratic Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey called out Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” for her “incompatible” positions in support of droning terrorists, but in opposition to using enhanced interrogation.
“Well the other thing is, you’ve got guys out there right now running drones. Dianne Feinstein supports the use of drones,” he noted. “What happens if ten years from now, there is another investigation saying those guys violated international law as well?”
“I mean you’re basically saying, ‘I can’t interrogate Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, but I can put him out with his family and drop a drone [strike] on him.’ There seems to be something incompatible with those two positions.
Well, let's put it this way, Bob: wiping out a terrorist's family with a drone strike is no more hypocritical than Michelle Obama gorging on fast food while insisting that growing kids starve themselves.

ReplyDeleteConsistency was NEVER their strong suit.
Dianne Feinstein is probably the most corrupt, most disgusting liar ever to serve in high office.
ReplyDeleteHer greed and selfishness at the expense of our nation makes her disposable, at the very lease.
I don't need to know what the CIA does to keep me safe. This torture is bad mantra, is beyond comprehension.
ReplyDeleteI personally would not want to honk off the CIA. Payback might be a MF.
It would be nice to think that our own forces do what is necessary to protect me and my family from our enemies (I'm English). A little bit of interrogation assisted by sleep deprivation, or such is in order to prevent the horrors they would visit upon us. Drone attacks do seem to be a tad too much for me to accept, especially in such numbers. Anyone remember the US cruise missile getting the wrong Tehran address when bombing the Chinese embassy?
ReplyDeleteHere is an idea - If we quit calling these people "terrorists" and instead call them "fetuses" or "unborn children" the progressives on the left will drop this controversy over torture immediately.
ReplyDeleteYou know it is true..... how sick and insane is that ???
