Klington director says he would resign if ordered to resume waterboarding
2016-07-14
[Reuters] CIA Director John Brennan said on Wednesday he would resign if the next president ordered his agency to resume waterboarding suspected militants, an apparent reference to comments by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump embracing the banned interrogation method.

"I can say that as long as I'm director of CIA, irrespective of what the president says, I'm not going to be the director of CIA that gives that order. They'll have to find another director," said Brennan, who did not mention Trump by name.

Avoid the inevitable, New Zealand beckons.

#4  I'm all for it Billy. Let us start with a few questions concerning Brennan's tenure at Analysis Corporation and that unsightly incident in the Foggy Bottom Passport office, shall we?

It appears Brennan's career virtually rocketed after that little clean-up.
