I defend those who followed policy that was declared legal by the Justice Dept. in order to defend our country.
You mean by John Yoo and Jay Bybee the two clowns that BushCo. shopped around for to write those ridiculous torture memos? Give me a **** break.
Those memos were widely condemned by many jurists, and in fact most career attorneys in the Justice, Defense and State Departments strongly opposed the positions taken in the memos but were overruled by senior political appointees.
Misty: Why did Jose Rodriguez destroy the tapes that showed people 'defending the country' Jackhole?
Clem: Because it had the faces of the operatives, who would have been endangered, and their families, Jackhole.
That's not what the deputy to Kyle “Dusty” Foggo, then executive director of the CIA said. He wrote in an e-mail that Rodriguez thought “the heat from destroying is nothing compared with what it would be if the tapes ever got into public domain—he said that out of context they would make us look terrible; it would be ‘devastating’ to us.”
