This whole story is so Kafkaesque.
The Intelligence committee is just doing a review of the CIA's torture practices, no big deal, largely for purposes of whitewashing the whole thing and sweeping it under the rug.
But then the CIA did something unconscionable and lashed out at the committee, threatening them with being reported to the Justice Department. That's when a red line was crossed and they had no choice but to bring the CIA's horriffic moral crime (not torture, but fucking with the Senate) public.
- rayiner 13y agoThat's not what Kafkaesque means. Kafkaesque is something like Chicago's treatment of sex offenders: state law requires them to register yearly within a short window at the threat of violating probation, but the police close the registration office early because they're lazy. Its about lack of coordination and internal inconsistency, not malintent.
- Zigurd 13y agoThis is the same Robert Eatinger who engineered the CIA torture cover up. It is exceedingly kind of you not to ascribe malintent in this case.
