Republican Peter King calls Holder investigation of BushCo/CIA 'bulls**t'

By GottaLaff

See, Rep. Peter King, when crimes are committed, investigations are necessary. People were tortured and murdered. That cannot be ignored. That demands scrutiny. If it's inconvenient, too bad. If they were committed by members of your own party, too freakin' bad.

"It's bullsh*t. It's disgraceful. You wonder which side they're on," the Long Island Republican told Politico Tuesday.

They're on the side of justice, Pete.

On Monday, Attorney Gen. Eric Holder asked federal prosecutor John Durham to examine whether CIA interrogations of suspected terrorists were illegal in the months and years after the September 11 attacks. [...]

The White House said Tuesday that President Obama supported Holder's decision.

"It's a total breach of faith, and either the president is intentionally caving to the left wing of his party or he's lost control of his administration," King said Tuesday.

No, Petey, it's the Rushpublics who have lost control... all control. Need proof? Attend any town hall meeting. The assault weapons are a dead giveaway.

Then read what I've referenced below the ********* line. Then read Jane Mayer's The Dark Side. Then re-read (if indeed, you've ever read it to begin with) the U.S. Constitution and the Geneva Conventions.

Then remember-- if you're one of those who feels it necessary to look forward and not back-- that all crimes took place in the past. That's how we know they happened.

And if anyone says otherwise, it's bulls**t.

Then read Jane Mayer's book The Dark Side. You'll have a much greater understanding of why I post endlessly about this, and why I'm all over the CIA deception issues, too.
