Panetta And Extraordinary Rendition
On the Today Show, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow implied that the United States wouldn’t do such bad things to innocent people under a Leon Panetta-led intelligence infrastructure.
She may want to have someone revise those so-well-recited talking points.
Liberals might be in for a nasty shock with Leon Panetta, the man Barack Obama wants to lead the CIA. The selection of the former White House chief of staff to Bill Clinton has been welcomed by many Democrats for his denunciations of torture and all round management abilities.
But according to one former agent, Michael Scheuer, the extraordinary rendition programme that has so tainted the agency during the Bush administration actually began in the Clinton administration, when Panetta would, or should, have been fully aware of it.
Whoops.
Got a recitation for that, Rachel?
