Obama Administration to Investigate the CIA For Abuses
This is a mobile post, please excuse any lack of formatting if it exists. Hopefully any links in this post work properly.
I know that I am supposed to be on vacation but while we were still getting ready to head out for the day I came across this story about the possibility that Eric Holder is going to investigate the CIA for abuses and I had to write a quick post.
This investigation will be focused on whether the CIA went beyond even the measures that were allowed under the Bush administration not whether the Bush administration went to far. This will please some on the far left but because this is not an indictment of Bush’s policies, (at least not in the beginning, they will probably try to expand the investigation.), it will not be enough for the far left that still have wet dreams about seeing Dick Cheney and George Bush taken away in handcuffs.
I find the timing of this announcement suspicious coming just two days after we learned that President Obama probably committed a crime by setting up a watch list on the White House website. A classic diversionary tactic designed to deflect the attention of the public. But he had better be careful, this could come back to haunt him. If he sets the precedent of investigating previous administrations based on policy differences he will be next.
The crime that President Obama has probably committed is not going to go away just because he opens up an investigation on the CIA and neither is the evidence of his alleged crime unless the White House deletes the emails, and that will be another crime. He is treading on dangerous waters here. He has to ask himself, “do I want all of my actions investigated after I leave office?”[End]
America's Watchtower 
I held my nose and suffered through that town hall thing in Portsmouth today, on television, not in person. What a load of CRAP. He brought up that fishy list e-mail thing and made light of it, like it was a big joke. We’ll see who gets the last laugh.
That audience was totally screened. I was disgusted hearing all those whimpy questions, like they fooled anybody. He actually asked for tough questions, but of course no were forthcoming. I am SO frigging glad I didn’t WASTE my time driving way down there for that dog and pony show. What a JERK!!
I will say that New Hampshire can be proud of our citizens, from both political persuasions. The rather large crowds outside had NO altercations, at least not that I am aware of. Civility still reigns supreme here in the “Live free or die” state!

From what I have been able to read it sounds as if there were quite a few protesters outside. He can laugh now about his watch list but it is illegal and we will have the last laugh.
