John Stewert Skeward by Cliff May

The Read of the day and all you ever wanted to know about the good people at the CIA and why Stewart is just another brain dead mouthpiece for the left.

Here are some excerpts but you must read the whole thing, seeing Stewart getting handed his snarky hat is always a good thing.

Look, we know this: Khalid Sheikh Mohamed was captured. He said: “I want a lawyer.” He didn’t get one — I know some people think he deserved one, but he’s not a criminal defendant or an honorable prisoner of war. The Geneva Convention does not cover him — even Obama’s attorney general, Eric Holder has said that.

Now maybe you think asking him again and adding pretty please with a cherry on top would have produced results in time. The intelligence officials didn’t think that. They went to the Justice Department and said: “What can we do? How far can we go to save lives?” And they got the information they needed — and we haven’t had another attack on American soil since.

The current administration appears to have ruled out any coercive techniques: No sleep deprivation — not even for a night. No loud music — it drives the terrorists crazy! So it’s torture! Better to let the attack proceed. The victims and their families surely will understand.We basically have three weapons against terrorists: capture them, interrogate them, kill them. But there’s no point in capturing if you can’t effectively interrogate, so that leaves just killing. How do you justify that? How do you say, “Yes, you can hit that terrorist with a Predator missile but you can’t make him listen to Slim Shady”? READ THE ENTIRE THING
