Harry Reid Admits That Waterboarding Was The Right Thing to Do

May 11, 2009

  Last week Harry Reid was interviewed by a radio host and he was asked if he thought Dick Cheney should be prosecuted for waterboarding. I found his answer to be very interesting, here was his response:

There are a lot of decisions that are made that are right that may not be absolutely totally within the framework of law

  He is still playing to the far left by claiming that waterboarding was illegal, even though it was ruled legal, but even so he claims that the decision was the right one. He is admitting that the decision to waterboard was the correct decision to make.

  The truth is that all of the members in congress felt this way in 2002 whether they want to admit it or not. Finally one of them has come out and said it. They all thought that waterboarding was the right thing to do at the time.

  Harry Reid is now trying to spin his comment. He is trying to say that he wasn’t saying waterboarding was the right thing to do, he is claiming that he was trying to say that the decision to not prosecute Dick Cheney is the right decision. That explanation doesn’t wash with me when you read the whole answer. If he was talking about the decision to not prosecute Dick Cheney how would that  “not be absolutely totally within the framework of law?”

  I think it is pretty obvious what he said AND what he meant.

    Here’s the deal, people like Reid and Pelosi are NOT stupid, they KNOW the truth, they KNOW what needs to happen for the USA to be successful and survive, but in their warped minds they feel they must *play* to the loons that keep sending them back to D.C., and those are the moonbats and morons that are making this country fall..

    Pelosi and Reid also know that IF they were to DO the RIGHT thing, their *base* would dump them and they would be recalled to the *mother ship*…

    I think there is a third possibility here. He alludes to the possibility that our government is working “outside” the legal framework we have in place AND that sometimes that is okay?

    But is it?
