?itok=FxEL1_IG

[spanone]

1. up now starting with 911

[jwirr]

4. Of course - excuses.

[kentuck]

2. He's framing it...

so you will know why they did it...

[spanone]

5. exactly. what they did was illegal and he's about to justify illegality....

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

3. Let me guess. "We didn't torture. But when we did it was really effective..... and

kinda awesome."

[Horse with no Name]

6. 911...PATRIOTIC AMERICANS.....AL QUAEDA...INNOCENT VICTIMS...911...MURIKKAA

script the same

[spanone]

7. sounds like dick cheney wrote his remarks

[Horse with no Name]

10. and the "sing song" storytelling tone?

Sounds like he is doing an audio book.

[malaise]

37. I disagree -he threw them under the bus

I expect to see cartoons tomorrow of hi torturing himself with the contradictions presented.

[WhiteTara]

8. First words from evil dripping tongue were lies.

May the ICC indict him as well.

[kentuck]

9. I can't believe Obama has this guy in his trust...

He's a criminal.

[Horse with no Name]

11. unfortunately, I can.

and yes, he is. I am surprised he hasn't had to take a break from speaking to wipe the blood off of his hands.

[kentuck]

12. It was "EIT"...

It wasn't "torture".

It was a "mistake". It wasn't a "crime".

[Skidmore]

13. Why are these actions referred to as "mistakes"?

And what happened to refusing to follow an order?

[spanone]

14. he's on the cheney train....torture worked.

[kentuck]

15. What a major asshole!

1984.

[spanone]

16. Obama should step up at the end and cuff this fucker.

[malaise]

17. Watching

Didn't see your thread bro. Reached just in time for the start. He sure through Bushco and the goons under the bus

[spanone]

18. brennan sounds like a politician who got caught in some sex scandal...not the criminal he is

[kentuck]

19. And why did he steal the files off Feinstein's computer....

about the investigation?

[Skidmore]

22. You can bet no reporter will ask that.

My guess is that the questions have been preselected.

[TwilightGardener]

23. He lied about that, too. And then was forced to apologize.

He's kind of a train wreck.

[kentuck]

20. He's whitewashing.

and making excuses.

[spanone]

21. and waving the fucking flag. TORTURE brennan...it's called TORTURE

[spanone]

24. we're not a perfect institution. BWAHAHAHAHAHAA understatement of the year.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

25. Why does he still have the job?

[kentuck]

26. The reporters are using his terminology..

"EIT"

Say it! TORTURE!

[Skidmore]

29. Surprisingly, Andrea Mitchell used the word "torture" and then proceeded to

list acts of torture just now.

[kentuck]

32. Yep.

Good for her.

[spanone]

30. media compliance

[VanillaRhapsody]

27. It's the Guiliani defense...A noun, a verb, and "9/11"

[spanone]

28. brennan is NOW LYING about osama bin laden capture.

[spanone]

31. so cheney and the CIA dispute the findings? then we need a court to decide what is right.

they can't leave the argument open.

[kentuck]

33. We cannot accept such ambivalence...

about whether torture is right or wrong or acceptable or unacceptable.

[LittleBlue]

34. Lies every time he opens his mouth

Only a complete fool would believe this man.

[kentuck]

35. Waist deep in the Big Muddy...

[Skidmore]

36. The statement that dissent against Guantanamo was considered by him to be

"anti-American" and "propoganda" is duly noted.

[kentuck]

38. He never used the word "torture" and he never said it was a "crime" against humanity.

High fives by his cadre.

[KoKo]

39. He needs to go...

and Clapper with him. Michael Hayen was on Bloomberg News repeating the same "Talking Points."

Their supportive Think Tanks are out there re-writing the Torture Report for the Public's minds backed by a responsive Industrial/Corporate Mainstream Media as the voices against what that report reveals are silenced and relegated to the few Progressive Blogs/Internet Outlets who receive so little funding that they are in danger of being drowned out.

I look forward to "Democracy Now," follow ups and our International Media to try to keep this report alive with follow up commentary. But, then, Mainstream America doesn't follow those news sites so they will only be exposed to the Talking Points fed to them by the Corporate/Military/Industrial Mainstream Media.

[spanone]

40. this is not a 'matter of opinion'. i agree, brennan needs to GO.

[grasswire]

41. under his breath, almost...

....he said "there's been too much transparency the last few days" when a reporter couched her question "...in the interest of transparency."

Too much transparency for Brennan. Duly noted.

[spanone]

42. I heard that too!!!
