#1 you beat me to it Bobby.

I skimmed through most of it - you pretty much nailed it. This looks like a case of CIA CYA then a little blame Bush. They wanted the admin to expressly endorse waterboarding so they'd have a paper trail. How this becames a story I don't know - some folks in the CIA need to be cleaned out methinx.

#2 BH6, if Obama wins they'll be 'cleaned out' alright: they'll be promoted.

#3 I'm afraid this is a part of trying to lay the groundwork for a "paper trail" to bring Bush, etc. up on war crimes.

#4 Steve, yeah, I'm expecting a full on Planet of the Apes scenario in this country if the One gets elected.

#5 Well, if the dems really want to energize the opposition and piss off a whole lot of voters (who, strangely enough probably want them to focus on the present and future, not the past) then they should proceed with a war crimes trial of Bush and Cheney. They will have two years in office and then will be flushed. The Republican machine will be rolling in money. Sort of a Dirty Harry moment..."Go ahead punk, make my day!"
