Put your energy into getting resignations from Brennan et al? Yeah?

If you do that, and succeed, that torture report ain't never gonna see the light of day -- cuz then the mood will be, Well, ya wanted Brennan's resignation, and ya got it, so now we gotta to move on to other things

You wanna get to the bottom line and a resolution way too fuggin fast, because you ain't got you no clue about Washington baseball: no! no! don't be givin no scumbuckets no easy ways out

The CIA's been obstructin justice and destroyin evidence on this issue for a dozen years

Mebbe we can get Congress to stand up and pass some decent legislation, if we play our outrage right

Feinstein says CIA searched the committee computers. Brennan says CIA didn't

So what's that mean? You think it just means Brennan's a liar?

Dude, dude, use your fuggin grey noodles! Mebbe it means the CIA outsourced its investigation to contractors -- cuz then the responsibility would be diffused: nobody directly accountable to the agency would be involved, and the contractors would just say, Oops! Well, we thought that's what we were hired to do, and we didn't know anything about whose computer was whose, cause nobody told us nothin

So mebbe we oughta be lookin hard at the fuggin details of the story to see what we might could do with it, like limitin use of contractors

Obama, if he plays this right, can extract a great deal from the CIA under threat of heads rolling. Lawd knows he knows that we know that he knows he has to do something. And keep from making the CIA TOO mad at Obama.

I tend to think a lot of this is being orchestrated. That one thing leads to another and the final thing is the CIA is reeled in without heads actually rolling. Or grassy knoll type movies becoming part of our history, again.
